SUMMARY:Triple Book Launch: Jim Johnstone\, Klara Du Plessis\, & Katherine Alexandra Harvey
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, November 10\, 2024\, 2:00-4:00 pm ET\n\n\n\nLibrairie Paragraphe Books and Paimpsest Press present and afternoon of poetry featuring Jim Johnstone\, Klara Du Plessis\, and Katherine Alexandra Harvey. \n\n\n\nJoin poets Jim Johnstone\, Klara Du Plessis\, and Katherine Alexandra Harvey as they read from and sign from their latest respective works: The Anstruther Reader (editor)\, Post-Mortem of the Event\, and Let Me Evaporate. \n\n\n\nAlso scheduled to appear: Darren Bifford\, Sarah Burgoyne. \n\n\n\nAdmission is Free.Refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\nAbout the Books\n\n\n\nThe Anstruth Reader\n\n\n\nCompiled to celebrate ten years worth of limited edition chapbooks and broadsides\, The Anstruther Reader tracks the evolution of Anstruther Press\, one of Canada’s most prominent micropresses. Featuring notable authors such as Klara du Plessis\, Tolu Oloruntoba\, David Ly\, Rebecca Salazar\, David Barrick\, Fawn Parker\, and T. Liem\, The Anstruther Reader makes a case for the press’s reputation as a launching pad for emerging and established poets alike\, and spotlights its mandate to publish poetry that both pushes against and expands the boundaries of Canadian literature. \n\n\n\nPost-Mortem of the Event\n\n\n\nThe event represents the lyrical\, but an attempt at defining the event endlessly defers meaning—poetry readings\, death\, belonging\, the digital and— Post-Mortem of the Event is a cyclical archive that twists back to recorded readings of Klara du Plessis’s earlier Hell Light Flesh and leans forward to invoke a still unwritten manuscript. Here poetic composition encompasses audiovisual media\, transcription\, wave form visualization\, and digital humanities and interdisciplinary methods. With the maturity of three previous collections\, Du Plessis presents a brilliant expansion of her musical yet essayistic poetics. \n\n\n\nLet Me Evaporate\n\n\n\nInfo TBA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP on FAcebook
