Please join us for this very special evening with poet Madeline Bassnett, hosted by the Department of English and Theatre at Acadia University as part of their reading series, Authors@Acadia.
This event is free and all are welcome! Gaspereau Press will be selling copies of Under the Gamma Camera.
Madeline Bassnett is based in London, Ontario, where she teaches at Western University and is on the board of Poetry London. She is the author of two chapbooks, Pilgrimage (2016) and Elegies (2011), as well as a literary monograph, Women, Food Exchange, and Governance in Early Modern England (2016).
Bassnett's debut full length poetry collection, Under the Gamma Camera, is a frank portrait of our relationship with disease, exploring the contrary state of being that is illness. Rooted in her own experience of diagnosis, treatment and remission, Madeline Bassnett’s poems work to reconcile the contradictory aspects of an experience at once deeply personal and human and also strangely alienating and clinical. With directness and tactility, these poems recount an internal struggle with external realities, contrasting self-perceptions snare against a persistently alive, evolving world.
