SUMMARY:UNMET: stephanie roberts at the Third Thursday Reading Series
DESCRIPTION:stephanie roberts\, author of the poetry collection UNMET\, will be a reader for Cobourg’s Third Thursday Reading Series! stephanie will be joined by Nathanael Jones and Laila Malik for this reading series hosted by James Pickersgill. \nThe event will take place in the Northumberland Room at the Best Western Cobourg Inn on Thursday\, April 17 at 7:30PM. Admission is PWYC (Pay What You Can). \nMore details here. \nOrder UNMET here! \nABOUT UNMET \nThis is what comes of taking dreams / off the horizon. It is the sun / or nothing else\, you would scream / if you weren’t caught up in the chorus. \nLeaning deliberately on the imagined while scrutinizing reality and hoping for the as-yet-unseen\, UNMET explores frustration\, justice\, and thwarted rescue from a perspective that is Black-Latinx\, Canadian\, immigrant\, and female. Drawing on a wide range of poetics\, from Wallace Stevens to Diane Seuss\, roberts’s musically-driven narrative surrealism confronts such timely issues as police brutality\, respectability politics\, intimate partner violence\, and ecological crisis\, and considers the might-have-been alongside the what-could-be\, negotiating with the past without losing hope for the future. \nABOUT STEPHANIE ROBERTS \nstephanie roberts is the author of rushes from the river disappointment\, a Quebec Writers’ Federation finalist for the A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry\, the winner of The Sixty-Four: Best Poets of 2018\, a recipient of the Sage Hill Writing award for Black Excellence\, and a Canada Council of the Arts grantee. Her work has been critically praised and featured in well over one hundred periodicals and anthologies\, in print and online\, throughout Canada\, the US\, and Europe. She is a citizen of Canada\, Panama\, and the US\, and has lived most of her life in Quebec.
