Join us at the Bookshop as we have readings from authors Stuart Ross and Alice Burdick.
Always willing to take aesthetic and artistic risks, Stuart Ross is the author of some of Canada’s most daring, and also most rewarding, poetry. Long celebrated for his surreal narratives and humorous wordplay, here Ross focuses more intensely on intimate subject matter – investigating the often complex, often absurd, but always powerful connections between loved ones. The care and delicacy with which he renders these portraits of family members, friends, mentors – and even himself – is nothing short of arresting. And readers – both those familiar with his work and those new to it – will admire the dexterity with which he juxtaposes such pieces with more audacious inventions.
In "Book of Short Sentences", her ground-breaking fourth collection, her playful and challenging—and often surreal—poems are deeply imbued with the landscape of Nova Scotia’s south shore, as well as her own inner landscape, and the landscape of family. Her poems explore, too, the human vessel in which we carry pain, memory, joy, and existential bewilderment. "Book of Short Sentences" expands the rich palette of this highly praised poet’s work.
Stuart Ross ("A Sparrow Came Down Resplendent") is the author fifteen books of fiction, poetry and essays, as well as a regular blogger at bloggamooga.blogspot.ca. He lives in Cobourg, Ontario.
