SUMMARY:Fawn Parker and Tara McGowan-Ross Double Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join local poet and benign degenerate Tara McGowan-Ross as well as rock star Fawn Parker as they launch Tara’s sophomore full-length collection of poetry – Scorpion Season – and Fawn’s latest novel – Set Point – at Drawn and Quarterly! A portion of all proceeds will go to the Last Door Recovery Center. \nSCORPION SEASON\nIn this narrative in verse\, a failed academic with a dead-end domestic labour job disappears into her own consciousness in an attempt to distance herself from her circumstances. Up against poverty and political tyranny that seems to worsen by the day\, she finds solace in substance abuse and destructive relationships. But as the boundaries between fantasy\, reality\, her past\, and her present start to break down\, she’s left to figure out what in her life is within her control and what is simply written in the stars. A meditation on grief\, pleasure\, free will\, and totalitarianism\, Scorpion Season is an experimental and genre-bending book of poetry about a strange time to be alive. \nSET POINT\nLucy Frank is a 20-something old aspiring screenwriter who takes up digital sex-work to pay the bills. Circulating a confused social atmosphere of half-engagement with lovers\, friends\, and co-workers in present-day Montreal—Lucy struggles with her self-image\, an eating disorder\, and the illness of her mother.\nHaunted by self-doubt and a desire to believe in her work and worth\, Lucy volleys between self-sabotage and ambition as she tries to develop a parodic script set within a massive multiplayer world-building game. She is thrown into amplified chaos when one of her sex-work clients threatens to dox her.
