SUMMARY:Mike Barnes at Word on the Street Toronto
DESCRIPTION:Mike Barnes\, author of Sleep Is Now a Foreign Country\, will be at Word on the Street Toronto on Saturday\, September 28. Time and more details TBA. \nGrab a copy of Sleep Is Now a Foreign Country here! \nABOUT SLEEP IS NOW A FOREIGN COUNTRY \nFinalist for the 2024 Trillium Book Award • One of CBC Books’ Canadian Nonfiction to Read in the Fall \nA poet recounts his experience with madness and explores the relationship between apprehension and imagination. \nIn the summer of 1977\, standing on a roadside somewhere between Dachau and Munich\, twenty-two-year-old Mike Barnes experienced the dawning of the psychic break he’d been anticipating almost all his life. “Times over the years when I have tried to describe what followed\,” he writes of that moment\, “it has always come out wrong.” In this finely wrought\, deeply intelligent memoir of madness\, its antecedents and its aftermath\, Barnes reconstructs instead what led him to that moment and offers with his characteristic generosity and candor the captivating account of a mind restlessly aware of itself. \nABOUT MIKE BARNES \nMike Barnes is the author of twelve books of poetry\, short fiction\, novels\, and memoir. He has won the Danuta Gleed Award and a National Magazine Award Silver Medal for his short fiction\, and the Edna Staebler Award for his photo-and-text essay “Asylum Walk.” His most recent book of nonfiction\, Be With: Letters to a Caregiver\, was a finalist for the City of Toronto Book Award and has been praised by Margaret Atwood as “Timely\, lyrical\, tough\, accurate.” He lives in Toronto.
