I'm thrilled for Dale, the press. It’s an amazing story. A Canadian poet (born in Texas, immigrated here with his family to teach writing) Canadian designer, printed at Coach House. And is KFB the first (and only) Canadian poetry micro-press nominated? sendmylovetoanyone.substack.com/p/i-thought-...
