LISA ROBERTSON has a new book of poetry, Boat, out with Coach House Books in spring 2022.
Her critical book Anemones: A Simone Weil Project, was just published in Amsterdam by the
arts foundation called If I Can't Dance I don't Want to be Part of Your Revolution. It includes her
annotated translation of Weil's 1942 essay, "What The Occitan Inspiration Consists Of". Her first
novel, The Baudelaire Fractal (Coach House Books, 2020) was shortlisted for the Governor
General's Award for Fiction in 2020. She is currently researching the geological and social
history of the Bievre, a buried industrial river in Paris. She left Vancouver for France 18 years
ago now. Both feel like home.
