• Where the Wild Things Are

    "Canadian poetry has a long tradition of exploring and surviving the wilderness. Pratt, Service, Lee, Atwood – all have been interested, obsessed even, with a landscape both beautiful and terrifying. In fact, it's become cliché that our national poetry is infatuated with the wild and man's place in it. For this reason, Toronto-born Dani Couture is the much-needed urban update of our national literary obsession with a natural world."

    –Stacey May Fowles for Broken Pencil

Lemon Hound & Good Meat

The Hound had some nice things to say about Good Meat. Great blog to introduce yourself to if you don’t already read it. Folks, Lemon Hound. Lemon Hound, folks.

The Great Canadian Literary Hunt: This Magazine

My poem “Union Station” won second place for poetry. The first place poem is about butchers. How could I be upset? The issue is on stands now.

Dani and Alex: The East Coast Edition

The tour was great. I’m now back at home in Toronto. Met great folks, ate great food. Case and point, the biscuit below. Warm biscuit, fresh butter, sharp cheddar. Now, I would have brought one home for you, but I think the butter would have melted in my pocket. Next time, okay?
