About Klara du Plessis
Klara du Plessis is an interdisciplinary artist-scholar, literary curator, and poet, known for her contributions to long-form and translingual poetics. Her most recent publications include Post-Mortem of the Event (Palimpsest Press, 2024), a poetic work that mobilizes audiovisual media, transcription, waveform visualization, and digital humanities methods, and I’mpossible collab (Gaspereau Press, 2023), a collection of literary essays on contemporary poetry. Her first South African and bilingual poetry collection, Ek’t Act (Karavan Press), was just released in September 2025.
Klara’s writing has won the 2019 Pat Lowther Memorial Award and Arc Poetry Magazine’s 2022 Critic’s Desk Award, and has been shortlisted for the A.M. Klein Poetry Prize and the Raymond Souster Award, among others. Although primarily a writer, her work often overlaps with visual, sonic, performative, and collaborative terrains, exhibiting, installing and performing at spaces such as Artexte, Centre Clark, and OBORO. Klara is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of British Columbia (Okanagan) and divides her time between Montreal, Kelowna, and Cape Town.
