A Little Death for Everyone…

A Ball in the Hand is Worth 2 in the Bush!

Some say he has a worldly sense of wit.

Others claim he has a wilty sense of words.

You decide.



Introducing Jonathan Ball's


Jonathan Ball's latest pair of chapbooks tests the possibilities of language. In his four line poem, The Present Paradox, Ball explores the subtle complexities of syntax & perception, as well as the ironic relationship between presence & absence. Archimedes, meanwhile, while reminiscent of Jon Paul Fiorentino's binary code sonnet, marries language & math for a linguistic interpretation of arithmetic's most infamous number: π.


Jonathan Ball is a writer & filmmaker & the editor of dANDelion magazine.

S P R A W L

Is it a verb?
Is it a noun?
Is it a metaphor for metaphor itself?





Whatever it might be,
emily carr's S P R A W L is here!

In her latest collection, emily carr dissects the lyric poem by writing through a dictionary-inspired format. Selected from her full-length manuscript, If She Draws a Door (about the size & shape of a sparrow) Only She Can Pass Through It, these pieces unfurl the poetic narratives hidden within the multifarious meanings of single words. The piercing images and bare language of these poems beg the further elucidation of words within these outwardly-spiralling poetic definitions. carr effectively puts the raw in sprawl.




Of no relation to that infamous, miscreant painter, emily carr is a PhD student at the University of Calgary and a member of both the dANDdelion and filling Station editorial collectives. Recently relocated to Canada from North Carolina, emily has been published internationally across the US and UK in magazines such as Third Coast, the Exquisite Corpse, and Fire. Her writing explores subjectivity, lyric and erasure poetics.
