SUMMARY:Colleen Coco Collins at the Antler River Poetry Series
DESCRIPTION:Colleen Coco Collins\, author of the poetry collection Sorry About the Fire\, will be a guest reader at the Antler River Poetry Series! Coco will be joined by fellow poets Erín Moure and Chantel Neveu. \nThe event takes place at the Landon Branch of the London Public Library on Wednesday\, September 17 at 7PM. \nGrab Sorry About the Fire here! \nABOUT SORRY ABOUT THE FIRE \nA CBC Books’ Poetry Collection to Watch for in Spring 2024 • 3rd Prize Alcuin Award for Book Design in Poetry \nI wanted a good bewildering\, / down deep\, / as the keep of a castle. \nWith a voice as ungovernable and determined as Prometheus—who stole fire from Zeus only to face dire consequences—Colleen Coco Collins’ debut poems are daring dispatches from beyond the margins: light-filled flares sent up from the edge of language\, sentience\, land\, and story. Drawing on all of her multidisciplinary enamorations and rendered through the triple vision of her Irish\, French\, and Odawa heritage\, Sorry About the Fire introduces not just a poet\, but a stunningly original sensibility. \nABOUT COLLEEN COCO COLLINS \nColleen Coco Collins [she/they] is an interdisciplinary artist of Irish\, French\, and Odawa descent\, working in songwriting\, performance\, poetry and visual arts. She’s worked as a gallery director\, in forestry\, fossil preparation\, and renovation; as an autism support worker\, teacher\, and women’s shelter counsellor. Her writing\, music\, and art practice centers on temporality\, presumptions of sentience\, subversion\, rhythm\, gesture\, geographies\, biophonies\, frequencies\, the ouroboric\, the peripatetic\, love and the polyglottic. Hailing from Antler River/Deshkan Ziibiing/London\, Ontario\, Coco has studied at universities in Nova Scotia\, New Brunswick\, New Zealand\, and Ireland. She lives litorally in rural Port Greville\, Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia amidst crows\, coyotes\, grackles\, bees\, humpback\, lichen and fox.

SUMMARY:We're Somewhere Else Now: Montreal Launch!
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the publication of Robyn Sarah’s new poetry collection We’re Somewhere Else Now! Robyn will be reading from her new collection at Librairie Bertrand Bookstore\, where copies will also be for sale and signing. \nThe launch will take place on Thursday\, September 18 at 5PM. \nMore details here. \nGet a copy of We’re Somewhere Else Now here! \nABOUT WE’RE SOMEWHERE ELSE NOW \nIn her first collection of new poems in a decade\, Robyn Sarah chronicles the pandemic years with quiet wisdom and her flair for meshing the familiar with the numinous.  \nWe’re Somewhere Else Now moves with ease from the particular to the abstract. These are poems of grief and unexpected change\, of quiet awe at the human experience. Each poem is a window for the reader to look into\, “lit room to lit room\,” tracking desultory days of isolation and uncertainty\, while also highlighting reasons to pay attention: playing with a grandchild\, the rarity of a leap year\, the calls of birds. \nThree poems from the collection\, originally published in The New Quarterly\, were nominated for a 2025 National Magazine Award in Poetry. \nABOUT ROBYN SARAH \nPoet\, writer\, literary editor\, and musician\, Robyn Sarah has lived in Montreal since early childhood. Her writing began to appear in Canadian literary magazines in the 1970s while she completed studies at McGill University and the Conservatoire de musique du Québec. Her tenth poetry collection\, My Shoes Are Killing Me\, won the Governor General’s Award in 2015. As well\, she has published two collections of short stories\, a book of essays on poetry\, and a memoir\, Music\, Late and Soon (2021)\, that interweaves her youth as a professional-track clarinetist with her return at fifty-nine (after a lapse of thirty-five years) to the piano teacher who was her life mentor. From 2010 until 2020 she served as poetry editor for Cormorant Books.
