SUMMARY:Kama La Mackerel's ZOM-FAM Book Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join Kama La Mackerel\, the poet behind the debut lyric poetry collection ZOM-FAM\, for their cross-continental book tour! In virtual venues from Halifax to Vancouver\, with special guests including Jillian Christmas and jes sachse\, Kama’s My Body Is the Ocean Tour will take place on dates between November 16th and December 2nd\, 2020. Find one that works for you. \nABOUT ZOM-FAM:\nIn their debut poetry collection\, Kama La Mackerel mythologizes a queer/trans narrative of and for their home island\, Mauritius. Multiply voiced and imbued with complex storytelling\, ZOM-FAM showcases a fluid narrative that summons ancestral voices\, femme tongues\, broken colonial languages and a tender queer subjectivity\, all of which grapple with the legacy of plantation servitude. \nKAMA LA MACKEREL is a Montreal-based Mauritian-Canadian multi-disciplinary artist\, educator\, writer\, community-arts facilitator and literary translator who works within and across performance\, photography\, installations\, textiles\, digital art and literature. Kama’s work is grounded in the exploration of justice\, love\, healing\, decoloniality\, hybridity\, cosmopolitanism and self- and collective-empowerment.\nlamackerel.net\n@KamaLaMackerel \nClosed captioning will be included for most events. Please support the local bookseller hosts by getting a copy of the book through them. Please contact Metonymy Press with any accessibility requests or questions about events.

She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school\, but she’s not comfortable with her family\, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath\, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret—at least\, that’s what she thinks…\nBut the day Sophie meets Fitz\, a mysterious (and adorable) boy\, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too\, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that\, well…she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth\, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known.\nBut Sophie still has secrets\, and they’re buried deep in her memory for good reason: The answers are dangerous and in high-demand. What is her true identity\, and why was she hidden among humans? The truth could mean life or death—and time is running out.
