About TPV

Toronto Poetry Vendors is a mechanical poetry journal which operates out of refurbished gum vending machines. Produced twice yearly, issues consist of 10 single, hand-folded broadsides by 10 Toronto-based poets, which can be purchased from the machines for a toonie.

TPV was founded in 2010 by Toronto poets and girls-about-town Elisabeth de Mariaffi and Carey Toane. You can reach Carey at torontopoetryvendors [at] gmail [dot] com.
