About this Event
Join us for the Toronto launch of Drew McEwan's tours, variously! With guest reader A. Light Zachary.
A poem as a guided tour, a tour of a series of empty rooms. Asking how words form spaces of shifting relation, tours, variously dwells on narration as an operation that works on spaces and bodies as they negotiate their place among framed exhibits and pinned specimens ready for misrecognition. These poems saunter through an abstracted network of transformational encounters where bodies struggle with and against a game of follow-the-leader, postured by the series of connected rooms we share. Together they guide the reader through an interrogation of the ways we tour the spaces of language, always stepping between the sayable and the unsaid.
Drew McEwan is the author of the poetry collections Repeater and If Pressed. She also works as a researcher with a focus on mad, disability, queer, and trans rhetoric. She lives in Toronto.
A. Light Zachary is a writer, artist, editor, and Lambda Literary Fellow. Their poetry collection More Sure is a Stonewall Honor Book of 2024 and the winner of a Trillium Book Award. They live in Canada.
