SUMMARY:WORDPLAY  A writing workshop in celebration of creativity and wonder
DESCRIPTION:In a time of busy schedules\, and places to be and people to see\, it can be hard to find the time to simply play. WORDPLAY is a writing play group\, a time in your week reserved for you — a time to connect with the wonder that lies at the heart of words and where they can take us. \nFor a period of six weeks we will meet for two hours of writing projects and prompts designed to welcome the unexpected\, the spontaneous\, and the serendipitous\, culminating in an evening of readings on the last night. \nWhether you are a poet\, a fiction or non-fiction writer\, an aspiring writer\, a musician or a visual or performance artist\, or simply someone who loves the joy of words\, or even scrabble\, boggle or crossword puzzles\, this is an opportunity to entertain what it means to revel\, gambol and cut loose with language. \nWorkshop leader: Carolyn Boll\nA trained dancer\, and recipient of several Canada Council and Quebec multi-media and choreography grants\, author Carolyn Boll is a graduate of The Humber School for Writers. Her poems and short stories have appeared in Lavender Review\, The Gay & Lesbian Review\, and Mayday Magazine\, and her non-fiction writing has appeared in The Dance Current and The Montreal Gazette. Her first book\, a playful partnering between poetry\, image and dance\, is called Social Dance A Book of Ballroom Poetry and was published by Sally Jane Books\, the specialty imprint of indie publisher Headmistress Press.

SUMMARY:Graphic Novel Book Club: Grass
DESCRIPTION:Each month we host a Graphic Novel Book Club\, open to all\, during which we hang out and informally discuss a featured graphic novel. Our pick for September is GRASS by Keum Suk Gendry-Kim. \nWe will meet at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly (176 Rue Bernard Ouest) on Tuesday\, October 15th at 7 p.m. Join us for refreshments and collective insights! \nHosting the club will be Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Bookseller Liane Décary-Chen. \nABOUT:\nGrass is a powerful anti-war graphic novel\, offering up firsthand the life story of a Korean girl named Lee Ok-sun who was forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese Imperial Army during the second World War – a disputed chapter in 20th century Asian history. \nBeginning in Lee’s childhood\, Grass shows the leadup to World War II from a child’s vulnerable perspective\, detailing how one person experienced the Japanese occupation and the widespread suffering it entailed for ordinary Korean folk. Keum Suk Gendry-Kim emphasizes Lee’s strength in overcoming the many forms of adversity she experienced. Grass is painted in a black ink that flows with lavish details of the beautiful fields and farmland of Korea and uses heavy brushwork on the somber interiors of Lee’s memories. \nCartoonist Gendry-Kim’s interviews with Lee become an integral part of Grass\, forming the heart and architecture of this powerful non-fiction graphic novel and offering a holistic view of how Lee’s wartime suffering changed her. Grass is a landmark graphic novel that makes personal the desperate cost of war and the importance of peace. \nGrass is translated from Korean by Janet Hong\, an award-winning writer and translator based in Vancouver\, Canada. Her translations include Ancco’s Bad Friends (Drawn & Quarterly\, 2018)\, Han Yujoo’s The Impossible Fairy Tale (Graywolf Press\, 2017) and Ha Seong-nan’s The Woman Next Door (forthcoming from Open Letter Books in 2019). She is currently long listed for the 2018 PEN Translation Prize. \n***We are offering a 20% discount on GRASS from now until the meeting date!***

SUMMARY:D+Q Double Launch! Adrian Norvid and Sylvia Nickerson
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome into the world Adrian Norvid’s Fake Lake and Sylvia Nickerson’s Creation! \nFAKE LAKE:\nThe town of Fake Lake is a sludge pit of goings on and the Fake Lake Bottom Feeder (the local paper) has been kept busy chronicling what amounts to a mild apocalypse – collapsing bridges\, a gap in the street that swallows the high school band\, an awful bacterial business at the hot springs and a great blowout at the Fakeola bottling plant. Seeing souls ripe for the picking\, Lucifer (ever a prominent presence in Fake Lake) has even taken out a paid advertising supplement – Writhing Bodies Herbal Tea Mix anyone? \nThe Fake Lake Bottom Feeder is a replica of a weekly edition in May complete with Children’s Section (try not to freak out Trippy the clown)\, Industrial News (it’s work injury week\, again)\, a fulsome Food Section (beware the Flakey Bakery’s Sticky Buns) and a special double page spread of the Dregs Coffee Shop’s Sponsored Expedition to Ascend Old Frothy (their espresso machine) with exclusive photos of bearded hipster explorer types hip deep in milk foam. Fake Lake! There’s a seat for you in the Polished By Bums Tavern and it looks like someone’s signed you up for the Midnight Churchyard Dig… \nAdrian Norvid\, born in London\, England\, currently lives and works in Montreal. His large-format drawing centers around popular imagery\, vernacular and kitsch with sources ranging from Psychedelia to Georgian era illustration. He teaches painting and drawing at Concordia. \nCREATION:\nA new mother takes us on a tour of Hamilton\, a Rust Belt city born of the Industrial Revolution and dying a slow death due to globalization. This mother represents the city’s next wave of inhabitants—the artists and young parents who swarm a run-down area for its affordability\, inevitably reshaping the neighborhoods they take over. Creation looks at gentrification from the inside out—an artist mother making a home and neighborhood for her family\, struggling to find her place amid the existing and emerging communities. \nWhile pushing her child’s stroller around Hamilton\, Nickerson shows us the warehouse filled with open barrels of toxic sludge\, the parking lot where the city’s homeless population sleeps\, and the refurbished Victorian house (complete with elegant chandeliers) that is now a state-of-the-art yoga studio. Creation presents the city as a living thing—a place where many small lives intersect and where death\, motherhood\, pollution\, poverty\, and violence are all interconnected. \nSylvia Nickerson is a comics artist\, writer\, and illustrator who lives in Hamilton\, Canada. Her focus is storytelling in community arts and writing comics examining parenthood\, gender identity\, social class and religion. Her illustrations have appeared in The Globe and Mail\, The National Post\, The Boston Globe and The Washington Post and her comics have been nominated for a Doug Wright Award.
