Metatron's spring catalog features new work from Sophia Katz (Toronto) and Sara Sutterlin (Montreal). Sophia and Sara will be reading at the event, along with two very special guests (to be announced in March). Hosting by Ashley Opheim and Guillaume Morissette!
The Title Of This Book Is An Inside Joke isn't quite a collection of poems, a novella or a diary, but something in between. Sophia Katz’s debut collection unfolds in a kind of real-time intimacy, through contemporary narratives that are at times funny, at times heart-breaking, and filled with interesting observations, brutal honesty and quick wit. A wonderful and totally engrossing reading experience.
Sophia Katz's writing has been published on Medium, Everyday Genius, Hobart, Electric Cereal, That Lit Site, The Bohemyth and has captured the attention of Flavorwire, Gawker, Dazed & Confused, Rhizome and Flare Magazine. This is her first collection of writing.
"Sara Sutterlin’s I Wanted To Be The Knife picks
at the bones of modern romance by exploring the disappointments of
intimacy and the loneliness of dissolving relationships. Her poems are
brutal, funny and full of tender, ugly details that remind us of the
compromises we make with ourselves and each other when in love."—Kristina Mahler
