Founded to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the City of Ottawa, Canada's glorious capital city, "ottawater," and its chemical formula/logo "O2(H2O)," is a poetry annual produced exclusively on-line, in both readable and printable pdf formats, and found at http://www.ottawater.com. An anthology focusing on Ottawa poets and poetics, its first issue appeared in January 2005, 150 years after old Bytown became the City of Ottawa.

As well, all previous issues remain archived on the site. Thanks to: designer Tanya Sprowl, for her stunning design work and excellent visual art curation; the ottawa international writers festival, one of the finest organizations our town has; and Randy Woods at non-linear creations (I owe you much for this, sir) for their continuing support on this project. I really couldn't have done any of it without you.
