Remembering Joe Rosenblatt
1933-2019
Coach House would like to send our deepest condolences to those who knew Joe Rosenblatt. Canadian literature has truly lost a great and insightful poet. Born in 1933 in Toronto, Rosenblatt's first published work was with Coach House Press in 1966. The L.S.D. Leacock stands out as one of Coach House's more important early publications. He went on to publish countless volumes of poetry and prose, including the Governor General's Award-winning collection, Top Soil, and most recently, Bite Me. There can be no doubting Rosenblatt's pioneering influence on modern Canadian literature; he will be remembered for years to come.
