Ars Poetica - January 17 to February 12 2012
The air conditioning has failed. The creditors are circling like sharks. And the publisher wants to sleep with anything that moves. That’s the situation at Ars Poetica, a Montreal literary magazine where chaos reigns and disaster is never more than an errant BlackBerry click away.
Into this swirl of high culture and low morals steps lawyer Hugh Rose, whose idealistic daughter Naomi works as a summer intern for the magazine. When Hugh discovers the desperate state in which the periodical finds itself, he joins the struggle to keep the enterprise afloat – willingly at first, then with increasing reluctance as he becomes caught up in the intrigues of George the publisher, Julia the editor, and a singular Canada Council officer named Diane. Ars Poetica is a comedy about poetry, wireless communications and the wayward impulses of love.
