SUMMARY:Luke Hathaway at Steeple Green Books
DESCRIPTION:Join poet Luke Hathaway for a reading at Steeple Green Books! Luke\, author of several collections including The Affirmations and Years\, Months\, and Days (recently released in its 2nd edition)\, will be reading from his works and books will be available for sale and signing. \nThe event will take place on Sunday\, April 13 at 3PM. \nGrab a copy of The Affirmations here and Years\, Months\, and Days here! \nABOUT YEARS\, MONTHS\, AND DAYS \nA NEW YORK TIMES BEST POETRY BOOK OF 2018 \nA transfiguration of Mennonite hymns into heartbreaking lyric poems\, Years\, Months\, and Days is a moving meditation on the possibility of translation. Bridging secular spirituality and holy reverence with the commonalities of life\, death\, love\, and hope\, Luke Hathaway explores the connection between hymn and poem. The sparse and tender phrasing of Years\, Months\, and Days is an offering of words to music\, made in the spirit of a shared love—for life\, for a particular landscape and its rhythms—that animates poem and prayer alike. \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 an internationally-acclaimed poet\, lyricist/librettist\, and theatre-maker. Of his 2022 book The Affirmations\, Times critic Graeme Richardson writes: “Mainstream poetry counts as non-conformist compared with popular culture\, but it nevertheless develops its own conformities . . . Luke Hathaway\, a Canadian trans poet\, offers . . . a point of difference. Influenced by John Donne and George Herbert\, and above all by T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets\, Hathaway constructs small marvels of what one poem here calls ‘loving jugglery’: a feast of transformations.” Hathaway is a co-creator of the immersive opera Eurydice Fragments (re:naissance opera\, 2024)\, the song-cycle The Sign of Jonas (Milltown Records\, 2024)\, and many other performance works. He teaches English and creative writing at Saint Mary’s University.
