SUMMARY:Richard Kelly Kemick at the Hamilton Public Library
DESCRIPTION:Richard Kelly Kemick\, author of Hello\, Horse (Aug 6\, 2024)\, will be running a short-fiction workshop and reading as part of the Hamilton Public Library’s Author Series. The 90-minute fiction workshop\, called A Short Class on Short Stories\, analyzes classic and contemporary short stories\, character development\, plot structure\, precise language\, effective dialogue\, impactful endings and the submission process for literary magazines. Richard will also be reading from his new collection. \nThe event will take place at the HPL Central Library on Tuesday\, October 1 at 6PM. Registration and more details here. \nGrab 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.

SUMMARY:Mark Bourrie at the Midland Public Library
DESCRIPTION:Join Mark Bourrie\, historian and award-winning author of Crosses in the Sky\, for a discussion about his newest book at the Midland Public Library. \nThe event will take place on Wednesday\, October 23 at 6PM. \nRegistration and more details here. \nGrab Crosses in the Sky here! \nABOUT CROSSES IN THE SKY \nFrom the bestselling author of Bush Runner: The Adventures of Pierre Esprit-Radisson \nThis is the story of the collision of two worlds. In the early 1600s\, the Jesuits—the Catholic Church’s most ferocious warriors for Christ—tried to create their own nation on the Great Lakes and turn the Huron (Wendat) Confederacy into a model Jesuit state. At the centre of their campaign was missionary Jean de Brébeuf\, a mystic who sought to die a martyr’s death. He lived among a proud people who valued kindness and rights for all\, especially women. In the end\, Huronia was destroyed. Brébeuf became a Catholic saint\, and the Jesuit’s “martyrdom” became one of the founding myths of Canada. \nIn this first secular biography of Brébeuf\, historian Mark Bourrie\, bestselling author of Bush Runner: The Adventures of Pierre-Esprit Radisson\, recounts the missionary’s fascinating life and tells the tragic story of the remarkable people he lived among. Drawing on the letters and documents of the time—including Brébeuf’s accounts of his bizarre spirituality—and modern studies of the Jesuits\, Bourrie shows how Huron leaders tried to navigate this new world and the people struggled to cope as their nation came apart. Riveting\, clearly told\, and deeply researched\, Crosses in the Sky is an essential addition to—and expansion of—Canadian history. \nABOUT MARK BOURRIE \nMark Bourrie is an Ottawa-based author\, lawyer\, and journalist. He holds a master’s in journalism from Carleton University and a PhD in history from the University of Ottawa. In 2017\, he was awarded a Juris Doctor degree and was called to the bar in 2018. He has won numerous awards for his journalism\, including a National Magazine Award\, and received the RBC Charles Taylor Prize in 2020 for his book Bush Runner: The Adventures of Pierre-Esprit Radisson. His most recent book\, Big Men Fear Me: The Fast Life and Quick Death of Canada’s Most Powerful Media Mogul\, was nominated for several book awards.

SUMMARY:Luke Hathaway at the Antler River Poetry Series
DESCRIPTION:Join Luke Hathaway\, author of The Affirmations\, for the Antler River Poetry Series\, alongside fellow poet Sarah Burgoyne. Attendees are encouraged to wear a mask to protect vulnerable members of the community. \nThe readings will take place at the Landon Branch of the London Public Library on Wednesday\, October 23 at 7PM. \nMore details here. \nGet The Affirmations here! \nABOUT THE AFFIRMATIONS \nShortlisted for the 2023 J.M. Abraham Atlantic Poetry Award • Winner of the 2021 Confederation Poets Prize • One of The Times’ Best Poetry Books of 2022 • A CBC Best Poetry Book of 2022 • Nominated for the 2023 ReLit Award for Poetry \nThe mystics who coined the phrase ‘the way of affirmation’ understood the apocalyptic nature of the word yes\, the way it can lead out of one life and into another. Moving among the languages of Christian conversion\, Classical metamorphosis\, seasonal transformation\, and gender transition\, Luke Hathaway tells the story of the love that rewired his being\, asking each of us to experience the transfiguration that can follow upon saying yes—with all one’s heart\, with all one’s soul\, with all one’s mind\, with all one’s strength . . . and with all one’s body\, too. \nABOUT LUKE HATHAWAY \nLuke Hathaway is a trans poet who teaches English and Creative Writing at Saint Mary’s University in Kjipuktuk/Halifax. He has been before now at some time boy and girl\, bush\, bird\, and a mute fish in the sea. His book Years\, Months\, and Days was named a best book of 2018 in the New York Times. He mentors new librettists as a faculty member in the Amadeus Choir’s Choral Composition Lab\, and makes music with Daniel Cabena as part of the metamorphosing ensemble ANIMA.

In a way\, this is most of our stories.” In this startlingly original essay collection\, Urquhart reveals the truths that underlie our imaginings: what we see in our heads when we read\, how the sight of a ghost can heal\, how the entrance to the underworld can be glimpsed in an oil painting or a winter storm—or the onset of a loved one’s dementia. In essays on death and dying\, pregnancy and prenatal genetics\, radioactivity\, chimeras\, cottagers\, and plague\, Ordinary Wonder Tales reveals the essential truth: if you let yourself look closely\, there is magic in the everyday. \nABOUT EMILY URQUHART \nEmily Urquhart is the author of three books of nonfiction including the essay collection\, Ordinary Wonder Tales\, a finalist for the 2023 Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction. She has a background in journalism and a doctorate in folklore and draws on both in her writing. She is a five-time National Magazine Award nominee for her journalistic work and has won gold and silver. She lives in Kitchener\, Ontario with her husband and two children where she is a nonfiction editor for The New Quarterly and teaches creative writing and science communication at the University of Waterloo.
