Klara du Plessis’s debut poetry collection, Ekke, won the 2019 Pat Lowther Memorial Award. Her book-length narrative poem, Hell Light Flesh, was adapted and produced as a mono-opera film with composer Jimmie LeBlanc. She also develops an ongoing series of experimental and dialogic literary events called Deep Curation, an approach which posits the poetry reading as artform. She holds a PhD in English Literature and lives in Montreal.
