Reality Street Editions announces the publication of Debbie: an Epic by Lisa Robertson Published in association with New Star Books, Canada, Debbie: an Epic is this talented Canadian poet's full debut in the UK - following the inclusion of a short extract from this sequence in Out of Everywhere. Lisa Robertson's work is playful, intelligent, audacious and wide-ranging in its lightly-worn learning: Girl Power meets Vergil meets Edith Sitwell. Her previous publications include The Badge, The Apothecary and XEclogue. She edits the journal Raddle Moon with Susan Clark and Catriona Strang. Funding from Eastern Arts Board gratefully acknowledged. 1-874400-12-1 Price: 7.50 sterling 200 x 152mm paperback 96pp Lisa Robertson will be in the UK in the new year, and will be launching the book at a reading on Friday 16 January at the Serpentine Gallery Bookshop, 54 Warren Street, London W1 (starts 7.00pm), and also in Cambridge (tbc). I've just taken delivery today of the book from the Canadian printer, and it's beautiful. British-poets list subscribers can order it post free.
