Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of live poetry.
(Re)Generation contains selected poetry by Anishinaabe writer Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm exploring a range of issues: from violence against Indigenous women and lands to Indigenous erotica and the joyous intimate encounters between bodies.
From internationally celebrated writer and visual artist Shani Mootoo comes Cane | Fire , a long-awaited return to poetry. Throughout this collection, akin to a poetic memoir, past and present are in conversation with each other.
Waking Occupations , Phoebe Wang’s acclaimed second collection, contemplates our obligations to live in a creative, generative, and revolutionary way amid a cascade of global contingencies.
Passengers is the sixth poetry collection from Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Michael Crummey. Part travelogue, part archeological dig, Passengers is an eccentric guide to the wild geography, folklore, and misbegotten history of the human heart.

Traversing the personal and the collective, Phoebe Wang’s Waking Occupations offers profound meditations on creativity and survival that honor artistic works as sites of memory, and that recognize the poet and artist as memory-keeper.
