SUMMARY:In Conversation with Ann-Marie MacDonald
DESCRIPTION:Bookmark’s 50th Anniversary Reading Series is thrilled to present Ann-Marie MacDonald in conversation with Greg Doran on Monday\, November 14th at 7 pm in the Florence Simmons Hall\, 140 Weymouth Street\, Charlottetown. This is a free event and everyone is welcome. \nIn the late nineteenth century\, Charlotte Bell is growing up at Fayne\, a vast and lonely estate straddling the border between England and Scotland\, where she has been kept from the world by her adoring father\, Lord Henry Bell\, owing to a mysterious condition. Charlotte\, strong and insatiably curious\, revels in the moorlands\, and has learned the treacherous and healing ways of the bog from the old hired man\, Byrn\, whose own origins are shrouded in mystery.  Her idyllic existence is shadowed by the magnificent portrait on the landing in Fayne House which depicts her mother\, a beautiful Irish-American heiress\, holding Charlotte’s brother\, Charles Bell. Charlotte has grown up with the knowledge that her mother died in giving birth to her\, and that her older brother\, Charles\, the long-awaited heir\, died soon afterwards at the age of two. When Charlotte’s appetite for learning threatens to exceed the bounds of the estate\, her father breaks with tradition and hires a tutor to teach his daughter “as you would my son\, had I one.” But when Charlotte and her tutor’s explorations of the bog turn up an unexpected artefact\, her father announces he has arranged for her to be cured of her condition\, and her world is upended. Charlotte’s passion for knowledge and adventure will take her to the bottom of family secrets and to the heart of her own identity.  \nANN-MARIE MACDONALD is an award-winning novelist\, playwright\, actor\, and broadcast host. Her writing for the stage includes the plays Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning\, Juliet)\, Belle Moral: A Natural History\, and Hamlet-911\, along with the libretto for the chamber opera Nigredo Hotel\, and book and lyrics for the musical Anything That Moves. She is the author of the bestselling novels Fall On Your Knees\, The Way the Crow Flies\, and Adult Onset. Ann-Marie is a graduate of the Acting Program of The National Theatre School of Canada. In 2019 she was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in recognition of her contribution to the arts and her LGBTQ2SI+ activism. She is married to theatre director\, Alisa Palmer\, with whom she has two children. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/460772512688008/

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: Abolitionist Intimacies by El Jones\, featuring Lynn Jones and Damini Awoyiga
DESCRIPTION:Fernwood Publishing and King’s Co-op Bookstore are pleased to welcome you to the launch of ABOLITIONIST INTIMACIES in Halifax. \nFree and open to the public. \nAlumni Hall\, New Academic BldgUniversity of King’s College6530 Coburg RdHalifax\, NS B3M 1T1 \nThere are gender-neutral washrooms on the 2nd floor. There is parking on campus\, and it is close to a bus stop. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nIn Abolitionist Intimacies\, El Jones examines the movement to abolish prisons through the Black feminist principles of care and collectivity. Understanding the history of prisons in Canada in their relationship to settler colonialism and anti-Black racism\, Jones observes how practices of intimacy become imbued with state violence at carceral sites including prisons\, policing and borders\, as well as through purported care institutions such as hospitals and social work. The state also polices intimacy through mechanisms such as prison visits\, strip searches and managing community contact with incarcerated people. Despite this\, Jones argues\, intimacy is integral to the ongoing struggles of prisoners for justice and liberation through the care work of building relationships and organizing with the people inside. Through characteristically fierce and personal prose and poetry\, and motivated by a decade of prison justice work\, Jones observes that abolition is not only a political movement to end prisons; it is also an intimate one deeply motivated by commitment and love. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nEl Jones is a poet\, journalist\, professor and activist living in Halifax\, Nova Scotia. She teaches at Mount Saint Vincent University\, where she was named the 15th Nancy’s Chair in Women’s Studies in 2017. She was Halifax’s Poet Laureate from 2013 to 2015.

Throughout her life\, Lynn has been active in the pursuit of justice\, working tirelessly for many causes and organizations that seek to eradicate racism\, secure human rights\, and achieve fair labour practices. She was the first Black person to join the executive ranks of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC)\, and also served as a National Vice-President of the Canadian Employment and Immigration Union (CEIU).

SUMMARY:Three's A Fine Crowd: a Book Launch with Boulder Books!
DESCRIPTION:Three’s A Fine Crowd! Join us as we celebrate three wonderful new books: Food Culture Place\, a cookbook by Lori McCarthy & Marsha Tulk; Jellies in the Belly\, by Carol McDougall; and Hard Aground by Bett Fitzpatrick.  \nWe’ll have books for sale and complimentary refreshments on hand. Plus\, there will be some treats from Food Culture Place for everyone to try. \nPop down to celebrate these three great books with us as we close out Boulder Books’ 20th year in business! \nABOUT THE BOOKS \n–Jellies in the Belly \nSwim far sea turtle\, swim far . . .  \nJoin Lally the leatherback sea turtle from her birth on a tropical beach to her long migration north and then back again.  During her journey\, the sea turtle protects fish populations by feeding on jellyfish.  \nDuring Lally’s journey we learn about the dangers facing sea turtles\, many of which are created by people. But we are also reminded of how amazing and special sea turtles are.  \nThe story includes a step-by-step instructional guide for children to create their own ink and watercolour leatherback images to enhance learning\, creativity\, and fun. \nThis book will appeal to children aged 5-9. \n–Hard Aground: Untold Stories from the Pollux and Truxton Disaster \nIn the pre-dawn hours of February 18\, 1942\, three American warships zigzagged in convoy along the south coast of Newfoundland. Caught in a raging blizzard\, the three ships ran aground on one of the most inhospitable stretches of coastline in the world—less than three miles apart\, within eight minutes of each other. The Wilkes freed herself. The Truxtun and Pollux could not. Fighting frigid temperatures\, wild surf\, and a heavy oil slick\, a few sailors\, through ingenuity and sheer grit\, managed to gain shore—only to be stranded under cliffs some 200 feet high. From there\, local miners mounted an arduous rescue mission.  \nBased on eyewitness accounts of survivors and rescuers\, and corroborated by archival and historical research\, Bett Fitzpatrick tells the story of the men who saved themselves\, the miners who carried survivors up the cliffs on their backs\, and to the people of St. Lawrence who opened their homes and their hearts to the victims.  \nAmong them are seaman Edward Bergeron\, who scaled the cliff and brought help\, Lanier Phillips\, the only black man to survive\, Ena\, who collected food and blankets and snapped the only pictures of that horrific day\, and Clara\, who took the last survivor home and nursed him through the night. \n–Food Culture Place: Stories\, Traditions\, and Recipes of Newfoundland \n**Winner of the Gourmand International 2022 World Cookbook Award for Food Heritage Cookbooks** \nMany homes in Newfoundland still hold well-stocked pantries of bottled moose or rabbit\, freezers of corned capelin\, and eider ducks at the ready\, waiting for a special meal. Food Culture Place celebrates the land these foods come from and encourages everyone to put more traditional foods back on their plates.  \nLori McCarthy and Marsha Tulk have been collecting and cooking their way through the wild foods of Newfoundland for decades. This book showcases their experiences and shares the stories they have captured through their work and the people they’ve met. Through it all a runs a deep love of everything that it takes to harvest\, hunt and prepare these foods to be enjoyed. Food Culture Place leads readers through a one-year food journey.  \nFish are caught\, game hunted\, berries and plants foraged. Food is prepared\, preserved\, and stored. Throughout are recipes for traditional dishes\, regional delicacies\, and modern preparations written for today’s home cook.  \n#foodhistory #wildfood #cookbook #seaturtles #kidlit #USNavy #WWII #newfoundlandandlabrador #ReadAtlantic \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/3234893430106764/
