SUMMARY:Planet Earth Poetry Series: Garth Martens
DESCRIPTION:Garth Martens\, author of Who Else in the Dark Headed There: Poems\, will be reading for the Planet Earth Poetry Series! \nHosted by Kyeren Regehr\, the reading will take place at Russell Books on Friday\, April 10 at 7PM. \nMore details here. \nOrder a copy of Who Else in the Dark Headed There here! \nABOUT WHO ELSE IN THE DARK HEADED THERE \nIn his first collection since the Governor General’s–nominated Prologue for the Age of Consequence\, Martens adds an autobiographical lens to his concerns about class and labour. \nA mother disappears. A son struggles to make sense of the life she left behind. Set against the stark northern Alberta of the 1980s and 90s\, Who Else in the Dark Headed There follows a man reaching through time to find the child he was and the father he is becoming. \nBeneath this waking world is another world\, of the overheard\, of the unsaid. To enter is to find a lyricism finely wrought and hallucinatory\, a depth of feeling and fidelity to metaphor in all its guises—but most of all an urgent relationship with language. Here\, in a reconstruction of childhood’s rooms\, Garth Martens approaches the past not as a record but as a pressure\, a “muscled concentration” that reorders\, resuscitates\, and redoubts. \nABOUT GARTH MARTENS \nGarth Martens is the author of Prologue for the Age of Consequence and Who Else in the Dark Headed There. For his first book\, he was a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award for Poetry. He is also a past winner of the Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers. His poetry appears in Dark Mountain Project\, Poetry Ireland\, Hazlitt\, This Magazine\, Vallum\, Fiddlehead\, and Best Canadian Poetry. He is also a member of Palabra Flamenco\, a literary flamenco ensemble that joins traditional flamenco dance and music with poetry and oral storytelling. He lives in Victoria\, BC.

SUMMARY:Richard Kelly Kemick at 'The Catch-Up' Reading Series
DESCRIPTION:Richard Kelly Kemick\, author of Hello\, Horse\, will be joining ‘The Catch-Up’ Reading Series hosted by Fawn Parker. Richard will be joined in conversation by Douglas Walbourne-Gough\, and will be reading from his collection of short stories. \nThe event will take place at Westminster Books on Sunday\, September 28 at 3PM. \nMore details here. \nGet Hello\, Horse here! \nABOUT HELLO\, HORSE \nTaut\, stylish stories take on big moral questions from surprising perspectives. \nA teenager’s job mucking stalls at a dog track takes a strange turn when his co-worker finds a new religion at odds with winning streaks. Two brothers set out in search of fame upon the frozen waters of a subarctic lake. After her mother’s death\, a high school student tries to make rent by winning the Unitarian Church’s Annual Young Writer’s Short Story Competition. An incarcerated man considers the nature of justice between shifts with his fellow inmates at Nations at War\, the ultimate live-action experience for tourists eager to learn about the Canadian Civil War. \nSpanning states and provinces\, and featuring an apocalypse\, a coterie of ghosts\, nuns on ice\, and an above-average number of dogs\, the stories in Hello\, Horse consider the mirage of authenticity and the impact of decisions we make—for better and for worse. \nABOUT RICHARD KELLY KEMICK \nRichard Kelly Kemick is an award-winning poet\, journalist\, and fiction writer. His limited series podcast\, Natural Life\, is an intimate and unexpectedly honest documentary on his cousin\, who is serving a life sentence without parole in Michigan. Richard is also the author of I Am Herod (also on audiobook)\, which takes readers undercover at one of the world’s largest religious events\, and Caribou Run\, a collection of poetry. He is the recipient of multiple awards including two National Magazine Awards and the Writers’ Guild of Alberta’s 2019 Award for Best Short Story. He lives in Vancouver\, British Columbia.
