SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH - SLOW REVEAL BY MELANIE MITZNER
DESCRIPTION:Along with Author Ken Harvey and his novel Book of Casey Adair\, Montreal author Melanie Mitzner will launch her novel Slow Reveal at Bureau of General Services – Queer Division\, New York City\, 7 pm on May 19th with financial assistance from the Canada Council of the Arts and the Writers Union of Canada. Free registraton for the live and live streamed event on Eventbrite – https://www.eventbrite.com/e/launch-melanie-mitzners-slow-reveal-ken-harveys-book-of-casey-adair-tickets-327512267007?aff=ebdssbdestsearch .  \nSet in 1990s New York\, Slow Reveal paints a portrait of artists who defy the arbiters of culture and challenge social norms. Art\, addiction and family dynamics capsize the Kanes when they discover the parallel life of Katharine\, film editor\, mother\, lover and wife.\nIn an open marriage\, after a decade-long affair with Naomi\, a lesbian poet\, Katharine’s marriage to Jonathan collapses in his struggle with sobriety when he’s ostracized for politicizing art and abandons his career for advertising. Faced with confrontations from her two grown daughters\, an installation artist and an aspiring writer\, Katharine hangs onto her former life. When unforeseen tragedy strikes\, devotion and commitment are not the guardrails that keep their work or relationships on track but rather a form of entrapment.\nA captivating story about relevance at the end of the 20th century\, the novel questions the voracious demands of contemporary society through a riveting portrayal of turbulent family life\, impacted by art shaped by the media and influenced by social and political injustice. Success is redefined by the courage to embark on the artistic process\, as risky\, messy and unpredictable as building intimacy and trust in love.

SUMMARY:Tracing Time in Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Poetry 200 Years Later: A Conversation with Professor Jonathan Sachs
DESCRIPTION:The summer of 2022 marks 200 years since the death of British Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Why does Shelley’s poetry still resonate with readers today? Explore the hidden depths and moments in his “Ode to the West Wind” as we consider the presence of time in the poem. How does the poem articulate decay and geography? Does Charles Darwin’s concept of “slow time” help us understand how Shelley envisions nature? \n\n\n\nThe Thomas More Institute is pleased to announce our upcoming webinar\, an evening of conversation with Jonathan Sachs\, Professor in the Department of English at Concordia University. Professor Jonathan Sachs will be interviewed by members of the Thomas More Institute on Wednesday the 8th of June from 7 to 9 p.m. ET on Zoom.  \n\n\n\nRegistration is required\, and the event is free of charge. A Q&A with the audience will follow the interview. All are welcome to attend.  \n\n\n\nView the readings that will be discussed here. \n\n\n\nJonathan Sachs is Professor of English at Concordia University\, Montreal. He is the author of The Poetics of Decline in British Romanticism (Cambridge\, 2018)\, Romantic Antiquity: Rome in the British Imagination\, 1789-1832 (Oxford\, 2010) and\, with the Multigraph Collective\, Interacting with Print: Elements of Reading in the Era of Print Saturation (Chicago\, 2018). Most recently he has co-edited\, with Professor Andrew Stauffer\, a new critical edition\, Lord Byron: Selected Works\, for the 21st Century Oxford Authors Series. Sachs has held fellowships at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and the National Humanities Center (US). \n\n\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Run Nawrocki Run! Escape from Banff Prison
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating June 20\, the anniversary of the end of Canada’s WW1 internment of Ukrainians coast-to-coast\, and World Refugee Day \n\n\n\nLes Pages Noires Productions and Babushka Theatre present \n\n\n\nThe return streamed performances of \n\n\n\nRun Nawrocki Run! Escape from Banff Prison \n\n\n\nWritten & performed by Norman Nawrocki \n\n\n\nMusic by Norman & Vivian Nawrocki \n\n\n\nClick to see the trailer \n\n\n\nThe return streamed performances of Mon.\, June 20 to Mon.\, July 4\, 2022 \n\n\n\nA Ukrainian Canadian WW1 story of courage—dream\, resist\, escape \n\n\n\nBenefit screenings for humanitarian aid for Ukraine & Ukrainian refugees \n\n\n\nAcclaimed Montreal playwright/actor/musician Norman Nawrocki blends Canadian history\, emigration\, racism\, wartime hysteria\, Ukrainian folkloric medicinal rituals\, music and legend together with family memoire into this compelling tale about hope\, courage and resistance. The eye-opening Run Nawrocki Run! Escape from Banff Prison runs from June 20-July 4 on Nawrocki’s YouTube channel. The show streams for free with donations to Fundacja Folkowisko Foundation gratefully appreciated. \n\n\n\nThe show brings to light the little-known but shamefully true WW1 incarceration and exploitation of 9\,000 mostly Ukrainian Canadian immigrants in forced labour camps across Canada. Nestor\, an unemployed Ukrainian Canadian citizen\, is nabbed by the police\, imprisoned and forced to do slave labour in a federal concentration camp near Banff Alberta. Despite the brutal\, tortuous conditions\, he rebels\, dreams and conspires to escape. This was Canada’s first coast-to-coast internment operation; June 20 honours the anniversary of its end and is also World Refugee Day.  \n\n\n\n“One day we’re citizens living free\, and then we’re enemies and aliens. Overnight\, everything changes.” — Nestor \n\n\n\nRun Nawrocki Run! Escape from Banff Prison pays tribute to one of Nawrocki’s relatives who successfully escaped from Castle Mountain in Banff National Park\, the most inhumane of the 24 internment camps. The play is a joyous call to rebellion. Nestor\, prisoner of war #158\, is inspired and inspires\, and despite all the odds\, he never loses hope. He demonstrates what’s possible; how to find the courage within us all to work with others for our collective freedom. \n\n\n\n“An important story to tell & to remember.”—David Gray\, CBC Calgary Eyeopener \n\n\n\nRun Nawrocki Run! Escape from Banff Prison \n\n\n\nStreaming for FREE- June 20 (7:30 EDT) to July 4 (midnight EDT) \n\n\n\nOn Norman Nawrocki’s YouTube Channel \n\n\n\nBenefit for humanitarian aid for Ukraine & Ukrainian refugees \n\n\n\nDonations (with tax receipt) to Fundacja Folkowisko Foundation gratefully appreciated \n\n\n\nwww.facebook.com/events/2795498610746716   linktr.ee/normannawrocki \n\n\n\nRun Nawrocki Run! Escape from Banff Prison was made possible in part by a grant from the Endowment Council of the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund
