SUMMARY:Constance Beresford-Howe Tribute
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the unveiling of a commemorative plaque for novelist and academic Constance Beresford-Howe (1922-2016). A reception with wine and cheese will follow. \nNow almost forgotten and seriously neglected by feminist scholarship\, Constance Beresford-Howe was a truly ground-breaking forerunner to contemporary feminist activism. Born in 1922 in Montreal of a middle-class Anglophone family\, she went on to earn a doctorate from Brown University in the United States and to join the English Department at McGill University in Montreal where\, among other subjects\, she pioneered in the teaching of creative writing. She scored a major coup when her first novel\, The Invisible Gate is written in her early twenties\, was published by a prestigious American publisher\, Dodd Mead in 1949. She went on to publish a total of ten significant novels developing a strong voice on women’s issues at a time when the literary world\, with a few exceptions\, was the domain of male authors.

SUMMARY:Death of Futurism
DESCRIPTION:What is the place of literature in light of the current trajectory of globalized industrial “civilization”? Can writers move beyond traditional notions of the future and the oppressive systems of power that have formed them? Do literary mediums have the capacity to depict futures that may very well be unrecognizable to us? Is there a place for radical optimism within what can only be called an abysmal forecast? \nWhat forms will an anti-futurist futurism take? \nJoin us for an evening of readings & performances by: \nMelissa Bull\nPaige Cooper\nDean Garlick\nJames Goddard\nKaie Kellough \n*Suggested donation $5-$10 NOTAFLOF
