Saskatchewan, Canada Ken Babstock
Ken Babstock was born in Newfoundland and now lives in Toronto where he is the poetry editor at House of Anansi. He is the author of three books of poetry, Mean, Days into Flatspin and Airstream Land Yacht. Prizes and awards have followed Babstock’s work from the outset. Mean won the Milton Acorn People’s Poetry Prize and the Atlantic Poetry Prize. Days into Flatspin won the K.M. Hunter Award and Airstream Land Yacht was recently nominated for a Governor General’s Award. Babstock has been lauded for his poetry that counters the gritty
physicality of the world with a philosophical curiosity that is often
infused with playfulness and humour. |
