SUMMARY:stephanie roberts at the Planet Earth Poetry Series: PEP in the Afternoon
DESCRIPTION:stephanie roberts\, author of the poetry collection UNMET\, will be reading at the Planet Earth Poetry Series! Doors at 1:30pm\, with sign-up for open mic. \nThe event will take place on Friday\, September 19 at 2PM. \nMore details here. \nGrab a copy of 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.
