"Canadian Poem (for Stuart Ross," booklet by rob mclennan
A poem by small press darling rob mclennan, Canadian Poem (for Stuart Ross, pays homage to a community of characters, each of whom have contributed to Canadian literary culture in unique ways. The Blasted Tree has produced a limited edition of seventy-five 5.5” x 2” booklets bound with brass paper fasteners into red construction paper. The booklets feature four slightly different designs that stack together to form a larger image, a nod toward the way many people come together to form a literary community.
