SUMMARY:Speculative Poetry with Manahil Bandukwala\, Ai Jiang\, Lynne Sargent\, and Millie Ho
DESCRIPTION:From science fiction to mythology to that lingering feeling of dreams\, poetry can be speculative too! Whether it’s fairy tales in verse or a world created in a few tight stanzas\, these poets explore the fantastical through the poetic. Moderated by Millie Ho. \nMONUMENT  by Manahil Bandukwala \nMONUMENT upturns notions of love\, monumentalisation\, and empire by exploring buried facets of Mumtaz Mahal’s story. The collection layers linear time and geographical space to chart the continuing presence of historical legacies. It considers what alternate futures could have been possible. Who are we when we continue to make the same mistakes? Beyond distance\, time\, and boundaries\, what do we still carry? \nLinghun by Ai Jiang\nDark Matter Ink \nFrom acclaimed author Ai Jiang\, follow Wenqi\, Liam\, and Mrs. to the mysterious town of HOME\, a place where the dead live again as spirits\, conjured by the grief-sick population that refuses to let go. This edition includes a foreword by Yi Izzy Yu\, Translator of The Shadow Book of Ji Yun\, the essay “A Ramble on Di Fu Ling & Death” by the author\, and two bonus short stories from Jiang: “Yǒngshí” and “Teeter Totter.” \nA Refuge of Tales by Lynne Sargent \nWhat does it mean to make a home inside a story? Stories are safe\, comfortable\, familiar. Fairytales and myths\, these stories we all know and grew up with are even moreso. A Refuge of Tales takes everyday tropes and asks: safe for who? This is a collection of poems for anyone who has ever felt outside of the myth. With language both sharp and lyrical\, Lynne Sargent weaves a treatise on the power of stories\, and how those who have been left behind can take up that power and use it to build a new\, better world.“Filled with irony\, rage\, humour\, and compassion\, this poetry collection takes our fairy tales and fables\, and all the stories we tell ourselves\, and doesn’t simply deconstruct them\, but blasts them into tiny shards\, razor-sharp and beautiful.”Su J Sokol\, author of the Sunburst-nominated novel\, Cycling to Asylum. \nLocation\nWord on the Street Toronto\nAcross the Universe\nQueen’s Park Crescent E\, at Grosvenor \n*Visit Brick Books at Word on the Street Toronto at Booth 16A.*

SUMMARY:The Art of Reciprocity with Tyler Pennock\, Alessandra Naccarato\, and Anime
DESCRIPTION:What would it look like\, to move through the world with the awareness that everything around you is as alive as you are? What comforts\, solidarities\, and responsibilities can we draw from a renewed understanding of what it means to be ‘in relationship’? These authors examine and imagine a worldview where the human and the nonhuman could meet on equal terms. Moderated by Anime.  \nBlood by Tyler Pennock \nConceived in the same world as their acclaimed debut\, Bones\, Tyler Pennock’s Blood centres around a protagonist who at first has difficulty knowing the difference between connection and pain\, and we move with them as they explore what it means to want. Pennock weaves longing\, intimacy\, and Anishinaabe relationalities to recentre and rethink their speaker’s relationship to the living — never forgetting non-human kin. \nImminent Domains: Reckoning with the Anthropocene by Alessandra Naccarato \nImminent Domains: Reckoning with the Anthropocene invites readers to join a contemplation of survival—our own\, and that of the elements that surround us. Using research\, lyric prose\, and first-hand experiences\, Alessandra Naccarato addresses fundamental questions about our modern relationship to nature amidst depictions of landscapes undergoing dramatic transformation. \nLocation\nWord on the Street Toronto\nBig Ideas\nQueen’s Park Crescent E\, north of College St \n*Visit Brick Books at Word on the Street Toronto at Booth 16A.*
