SUMMARY:Take a Second Look: Poetry Editing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:An early draft is often a diamond in the rough. Writers polish their writing through revision. Whether you’re writing for your personal archives or publication\, taking a second look at your work will create tighter writing. \nDuring the workshop\, we will discuss three features of a poem—words\, lines\, and titles. We will look at poems by acclaimed poets for practical examples of our discussion. Participants will revise three poems. Before the start of the workshop\, participants will be asked to send Blossom three poems they plan to edit during the workshop. \nBlossom Thom is a poet and editor. She is the author of #HashtagRelief (Gaspereau Press\, 2017) and her poetry has appeared during art collaborations and in literary magazines and anthologies including Poetic Notions: A Weaving of Poetry and Visual Arts\, Kola: A Black Literary Magazine\, and Montréal Serai. A mentorship with George Elliott Clarke set the groundwork for her work-in-progress and was supported by a Professional Development for Artists Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. \nPlease see event link for further details.

This is not any of those–the year isn’t half-way done. What I’ve tried to do is organize some of the feelings and thoughts that events\, so far\, have provoked in me\, in those scraps of time the year itself has allowed. These are above all personal essays: small by definition\, short by necessity.”\nCrafted with the sharp intelligence\, wit\, and style that have won Zadie Smith millions of fans\, and suffused with a profound intimacy and tenderness in response to these unprecedented times\, Intimations is a vital work of art\, a gesture of connection\, and an act of love–an essential book in extraordinary times.

SUMMARY:Librairie D+Q presents François Vigneault launching Titan!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the virtual launch of François Vigneault’s new graphic novel Titan! \nRSVP here: https://bit.ly/33yp6hy \nWhere and How Can I purchase the books?

As anger mounts\, what began as a routine posting quickly turns into something far more dangerous.\nPhoebe Mackintosh thought she left her fighting days behind her when she turned her back on the “mixing” circuit. Now\, she finds herself caught between a past she’d rather forget and a future she can’t predict.\nTogether\, they must find a way to pull Homestead back from the brink of disaster… Or Titan might be the spark that sets the entire solar system ablaze.
