SUMMARY:Mile End Poets' Festival 2019
DESCRIPTION:Mile End Poets’ Festival will return in 2019! Watch this space for updates. \nMore information on MEPF can be found here.  \n* \nThe Mile End Poets’ Festival is a multidisciplinary arts festival focusing on literature in performance. Its goal was to present in a single local festival a range of the exciting artistic activity regularly taking place in and around Montreal’s Mile End district. The district is home to a huge number of poets\, musicians\, writers\, dancers and performers. \nThe festival was founded in 2010 by Montreal poet\, performer and curator Ian Ferrier\, with help from writer/performers Moe Clark and Kaie Kellough. In its first year it was entirely artist-funded. It presented four nights of programming\, each curated by a different artist or poet from the Mile End. This has been the model ever since. The festival now regularly receives much needed support from both the Canada Council for the Arts and the Quebec Writers’ Federation. It presents work from multiple artistic communities with links to work by First Nations\, literary and performance poetry artists\, contemporary dancers\, top artists from the city and elsewhere in Canada\, and musicians who both tour internationally and regularly work in the neighbourhood’s exciting performance venues. \nIn 2017\, Ian Ferrier was joined by Northern Irish poet & performer Rachel McCrum as Administrative Director for the Festival.

SUMMARY:Pieces of Process #3
DESCRIPTION:PIECES OF PROCESS is an event series all about creative process. The intent is two-fold: to destigmatize creativity for would-be-creatives whose anxieties about failure hinder their ability to create and as a means of demystifying creative process to contextualize art. Artists will showcase their works then tell us about the process itself—challenges they encountered\, inspirations fueling the projects\, or anything else pertaining to the topic. \nRemember\, the final result is the iceberg’s tip. Come see what lurks below the water’s glassy surface. \nTHE ARTISTS:\nTara McGowan-Ross is an urban Mi’kmaw multidisciplinary artist. She is a graduate of the Concordia University Philosophy program. She writes criticism of experimental and independent Montreal theatre for Broadwayworld\, runs the Indigenous Literatures book club at Drawn and Quarterly\, was the first runner up for the 2018 Pacific Spirit Poetry Prize\, and is the author of “Girth” and the forthcoming “Scorpion Season.” Her work appears in print and online. \nJaelle Dutremble-Rivet is a Montreal-based media maker with a background in intermedia arts. Her work explores the boundaries between storytelling\, documentary\, and ethnography. As a graduate of the Media Studies MA at Concordia University\, she has completed a research-creation thesis on linguistic identity in Montreal. Visit her at https://www.jaelledr.org/. \nGio Gio (J.T Media x Giostino Giotezio) is a director and visual artist wandering through life’s experiences\, endlessly searching for Paradise. GioGio’s style can be defined as a mixture influenced by Anime\, Nature\, Retro Technology and Surrealism. With two short films and appearances at various Montreal art shows such as Art Jam and RAW\, GioGio continues to develop and bring his work to light. GioGio has collaborated with numerous artists and strives to one day form a collective that reshapes how music and film come together. \nThe event will take place on the third floor auditorium of Atwater Library. Please enter the building through the side door if the front entrance is locked. Entry is pay what you can; suggested donation 5$. Please give generously as all proceeds go to the artists. \nWe acknowledge that the land on which the event takes place is the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk)\, which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst nations. \nJointly sponsored by Beatrice Pearson and The Animated Woman

SUMMARY:Deborah Levy launches The Man Who Saw Everything
DESCRIPTION:Librairie Drawn & Quarterly presents: \nDeborah Levy in Conversation with Madeleine Thien for THE MAN WHO SAW EVERYTHING \nGeneral Admission: $15\nBook + Ticket Combo: $29.95 \nRialto Hall : 5711 parc avenue\n(Présentation en anglais) \nAbout the book: \nLONGLISTED FOR THE 2019 BOOKER PRIZE \nAn electrifying and audacious novel about beauty\, envy\, and carelessness by Deborah Levy\, two-time Man Booker Prize finalist. \nIt is 1988 and Saul Adler\, a narcissistic young historian\, has been invited to Communist East Berlin to do research; in exchange\, he must publish a favorable essay about the German Democratic Republic. As a gift for his translator’s sister\, a Beatles fanatic who will be his host\, Saul’s girlfriend will shoot a photograph of him standing in the crosswalk on Abbey Road\, an homage to the famous album cover. As he waits for her to arrive\, he is grazed by an oncoming car\, which changes the trajectory of his life–and this story of good intentions and reckless actions.The Man Who Saw Everything is about the difficulty of seeing ourselves and others clearly. It greets the specters that come back to haunt old and new love\, previous and current incarnations of Europe\, conscious and unconscious transgressions\, and real and imagined betrayals\, while investigating the cyclic nature of history and its reinvention by people in power. Here\, Levy traverses the vast reaches of the human imagination while artfully blurring sexual and political binaries–feminine and masculine\, East and West\, past and present–to reveal the full spectrum of our world. \nAbout the Author\nDeborah Levy is the author of seven novels\, including Beautiful Mutants\, Swallowing Geography\, The Unloved\, Billy and Girl\, Swimming Home and Hot Milk\, and two volumes of memoir\, Things I Don’t Want to Know and The Cost of Living. Both Swimming Home and Hot Milk were shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. Her short story collection\, Black Vodka\, was nominated for the International Frank O’Connor short story award and was broadcast on BBC Radio 4\, as were her acclaimed dramatisations of Freud’s iconic case studies\, Dora\, and The Wolfman. Levy has written for The Royal Shakespeare Company\, and her pioneering theatre writing is collected in Levy: Plays 1. Deborah Levy is a Fellow of The Royal Society of Literature.
