Additional information:
An unscrupulous editor, an inept representative from the Canadian Council for the Arts, a starry-eyed intern and a Publisher with questionable loyalty. These are the staff of Ars Poetica, Montreal's premiere English speaking poetry magazine, and they are all that stand between it and bankruptcy.  But when one of Canada's most influential lawyers gets thrown into the mix, one bad day at the office will decide the ultimate fate of the magazine and the people who run it. "Ars Poetica" is a scathingly clever dramatic comedy proving that not all art is culture.
