Conyer Clayton [photo credit: Curtis Perry] is a queer writer and editor from Louisville, Kentucky living in Ottawa. Their most recent book is But the sun, and the ships, and the fish, and the waves (Winner of the Archibald Lampman Award, A Feed Dog Book) [see reviews in the Toronto Star, Canthius, puritan; see my review here], and their third full-length collection of poetry, the lake-shaped excuse, is forthcoming in fall 2026 with Buckrider Books, Wolsak and Wynn. With recent poems online at Plenitude, periodicities and carte blanche, Conyer’s fiction [online at the ex-puritan] has been supported by a MacDowell Fellowship, a Tin House Scholarship, the Canada Council of the Arts, and the Ontario Arts Council.
