folio : Forty-five Ottawa poets
Current projects on the go include the following: I am editing my book of essays about small press book design in Canada, forthcoming from Palimpsest Press this fall; I have a third trade collection of poetry forthcoming from Knife Fork Book in 2027; my chapbook press, Apt. 9, will end its brief hiatus this year so plans are beginning to form for new titles; in terms of my own new poetry, I am working on a manuscript using rubber stamp (from which my contribution to this folio is excerpted) that I am thinking of as a kind of companion to my typewriter book, Sheets. Ideas for further projects are forming, but have not yet had time to develop.
Cameron Anstee is the author of two collections of poetry, Sheets: Typewriter Works (Invisible Publishing, 2022) and Book of Annotations (Invisible Publishing, 2018), and the editor of The Collected Poems of William Hawkins (Chaudiere Books, 2015). A book of essays is forthcoming from Palimpsest Press in 2026 (Footnotes: Case Studies in Canadian Small Press Book Making) and a collection of poetry is forthcoming from Knife Fork Book in 2027 (Narrows). He is the editor and publisher of Apt. 9 Press and holds a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Ottawa.
