Join us for an evening of beautiful readings as we celebrate the newest collections from three wonderful local poets!Tilling the Darkness is Susan Braley's debut poetry collection follows a young woman born into a family of eleven as she navigates the inequities of gender roles on the farm and in the church. Eventually leading us to how this woman, after leaving the farm, comes to appreciate the complex, bountiful legacy of her early life.
Karen Enn's Dislocations takes the reader on a lyrical journey, wrapped in the vicissitudes of seasons and weather—while observing human and other-than-human lives. Enns invites us to peer and is concerned always with the locations and dislocations perspective implies and creates.
False Creek, Jane Munro's collection, balances her signature themes—dream life, the visual arts, the mysteries of the natural world—with an urgent, more directly political voice. While not shirking painful realities, the poems support the human capacity to climb ladders, arrive at fresh points of view, listen to one another, and greet despair with attention, wit, and hope.
