SUMMARY:We're Somewhere Else Now: Toronto Launch!
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the Toronto launch of Robyn Sarah’s new poetry collection We’re Somewhere Else Now! Robyn will be reading from her new collection at Ben McNally Books\, where copies will also be for sale and signing. \nThe launch will take place on Wednesday\, October 22 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.
