Book Launch: Lisa Richter’s Sublunary, with Gillian Sze, Misha Solomon and Jessica Bebenek
Join Pulp Books in launching Lisa Richter’s newest poetry collection, Sublunary on Thursday, June 4th at 7:00pm! Lisa will be joined by special guests Jessica Bebenek, Misha Solomon, and Gillian Sze, and host James Hawes. This event is supported by the League of Canadian Poets. Free to attend!
In Sublunary (University of Alberta Press), Lisa Richter explores what it’s like to live “under the moon” in a world that is simultaneously a heartbreak and a total wonder…From Atlantis to Mount Olympus to Christie Pits, these poems interweave moments of absurdity and awe, creating a nuanced portrait of what “a reckless intimacy with the world” might look like—for better or worse. Sublunary is a book of elegy, play, and rupture that advocates for an ethics of care, solidarity, and compassion for our perfectly imperfect selves and each other: a mode of survival that is full-throated and, at times, even joyous.
