SUMMARY:WHO ELSE IN THE DARK HEADED THERE: Kelowna Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Kelowna for the launch of Who Else in the Dark Headed There: Poems by Garth Martens! \nHosted at the Benvoulin Church\, the launch will take place on Tuesday\, April 14 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.
