Emily Ballantyne is a PhD candidate in the Department of English at Dalhousie University and the recipient of a CGS doctoral scholarship. Her doctoral research places Canadian modernism in the context of transnational travel writing, exploring Montreal not just as a locus for modernism, but also as a critical site of dispersion for writers and poets including P.K. Page, John Glassco, Patrick Anderson, and A.M. Klein. She has been affiliated with the EMiC project since its first TEMiC and DEMiC in 2009. She has worked as a research assistant for P.K. Page’s poetry under the supervision of Zailig Pollock, and as a research assistant for Matt Huculak’s online edition of the avant-garde periodical Le Nigog. She has assisted in organizing TEMiC and DEMiC, and is also the intern for the Exile’s Return Colloquium in Paris this June. In 2009, she received an EMiC graduate stipend to complete a genetic, parallel-text edition of Page’s Brazilian poetry (1957-59). She is currently in the process of working up the edition for publication. In addition to administering the EMiC grant, she also is editing the non-fiction volume of the Collected Works of P.K. Page.
