Toronto poet Rachel Zolf’s practice is situated near the limits of language and the page. She creates polyvocal assemblages from found fragments, long poems that work by accretion with montage shock effects. Themes that include subjectivity, cultural identity, sexuality and trauma stew in wry anti-aesthetic language/lyric explorations of the modern familiar. She has published two books of poetry and two chapbooks. Zolf serves as poetry editor for The Walrus magazine.
