SUMMARY:WHO ELSE IN THE DARK HEADED THERE: Victoria Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Victoria for the launch of Who Else in the Dark Headed There: Poems by Garth Martens! \nThe launch will take place at Caffe Fantastico on Thursday\, April 30 at 7PM. \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.

Set in Toronto and Silver Lake\, a creative neighbourhood in Los Angeles\, the novel chronicles with infectious élan Aubrey’s journey from broken-hearted derelict to B-movie production assistant\, comedy writer\, and science-fiction screenwriter\, all the way up to feature film director. Along the way\, he encounters long-ago childhood friends\, manic producers\, NHL players turned talk show hosts\, Victoria’s Secret models\, impulsive movie stars . . . and his own rising destiny. \nABOUT ALEX PUGSLEY \nAlex Pugsley has worked on over 185 produced episodes of television\, writing for performers such as Lauren Ash\, Scott Thompson\, Dan Aykroyd\, and Michael Cera. He wrote and directed the feature film Dirty Singles which won for him the Irving Avrich Emerging Filmmaker Award at TIFF. Following the publication of his first novel\, Aubrey McKee\, he was named one of CBC’s Writers to Watch. His first story collection\, Shimmer\, was nominated for the ReLit Award for Short Fiction\, and his most recent novel\, The Education of Aubrey McKee\, was long listed for the Toronto Book Awards. His next book\, The Hungarian Ballroom\, an Aubrey McKee novella\, is forthcoming from Biblioasis. More information can be found at www.alexpugsley.com.
