In this incomparable third collection\, his first in a decade\, Michael Lista returns to reinvent poetry with humour\, pugnacity\, and a deeply singular voice. Splicing Byronic rhymes and Auden’s meters with the twenty-first century irreverence of a late-stage Twitter feed\, the poems in Barfly are alternatingly aggressive\, sweet\, deadly\, and raw with a break-your-heart vulnerability. \nABOUT MICHAEL LISTA \nMichael Lista is an investigative journalist\, essayist and poet. He has worked as a book columnist for the National Post and as the poetry editor of The Walrus. He is the author of four books: the poetry volumes Bloom and The Scarborough; Strike Anywhere\, a collection of his writing about literature\, television and culture; and The Human Scale: Murder\, Mischief and Other Selected Mayhems\, a book of longform journalism. His essays and investigative stories have appeared in the New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, Slate\, The Walrus\, Canadaland\, and Toronto Life. He is a contributing editor at Toronto Life and Maclean’s. He was the 2017 Margaret Laurence Fellow at Trent University and the winner of the 2020 National Magazine Awards for both Investigative Reporting and Long Form Feature Writing. His story “The Sting” is being adapted by Adam Perlman\, Robert Downey Jr.\, and Team Downey into a television series for Apple TV+.

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.
