The finale of National Poetry Month with guest DEREK BEAULIEU.

Since the beginning of his poetic career in the 1990s, Derek Beaulieu has created works that have challenged readers to understand in new ways the possibilities of poetry. With nine books currently to his credit, and many works appearing in chapbooks, broadsides, and magazines, Beaulieu continues to push experimental poetry, both in Canada, and internationally, in new directions. His work can be classified as conceptual poetry, visual poetry, and concrete poetry. His work is consistently praised as some of the most radical and challenging in contemporary Canadian writing. Derek Beaulieu was the 2014-2016 Poet Laureate of Calgary. His papers are collected by Simon Fraser University’s Contemporary Literature Collection.
