Blaise Moritz is an artist living in East Toronto. Since June 2019, he has produced The Test, a monthly visual poetry comic that has ranged from a long engagement with Jack Kirby's late career editorials to illustrations of Eugenio Montale's prose poems. Issue 17, the final issue of the sequence "An Affliction of the Eyes", was shortlisted for Best Comics Zine in the 2021 Broken Pencil Zine Awards. His graphic work has appeared as part of the Colossive Cartographies series from Colossive Press (London, England) and in The Plague Review Digest from Rotland Press (Detroit). He is the author of two previous books of poetry without pictures, Zeppelin (Nightwood Editions, 2013) and Crown and Ribs (Fitzhenry and Whiteside, 2007).
