Autor/-in: Ian Orti

Known for weirdly seductive, sharply rendered prose which has earned him comparisons to Michael Ondaatje and Leonard Cohen, Ian Orti was born and raised in Canada by immigrant parents from Ireland and Ecuador. He is the author of The Olive and the Dawn, and L (and things come apart) and his work has been published in journals and magazines across the United States, Canada, and Europe in English, French, and German. He is the recipient of multiple grants and small awards including a CBC bookclub award and the award for 'Best Book' at Expozine in Montreal in 2009. He currently lives in Berlin.
