SUMMARY:Imagining the North in Canadian Literature
DESCRIPTION:ENGL 2463: Imagining the North in Canadian Literature with Renée Hulan \n—— \nThe class is currently being offered online\, but may switch to in-person later in the term. Register on the SMU website: https://studio.smu.ca/librarycourses \nThis course unsettles the representation of Canada as “true north” in literature and culture. By studying northern historiography and reading selected literary works depicting the Canadian North\, we will see how the imagined North has changed over time.  \nThe readings will include selections by Inuit and other northern Indigenous peoples\, and the examination will be presented in relation to important contemporary topics\, such as Arctic sovereignty\, climate change\, and Indigenous knowledge. \n—— \nUniversity Classes for Everyone\, presented by Saint Mary’s University and Halifax Public Libraries\, encourages you to explore lifelong learning – for free! \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/289739843191011/?event_time_id=289741199857542

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Rafael Has Pretty Eyes
DESCRIPTION:Join Elaine McCluskey at the Halifax Central Library for the launch of her new book Rafael Has Pretty Eyes on Tuesday\, March 29 at 7 p.m. \nSet in the Maritimes but transcending regional boundaries\, Elaine McCluskey’s stories range from thought-provoking to hilarious\, often focusing on the many people left to live on society’s margins. Smart\, compassionate\, and unsparing\, Rafael Has Pretty Eyes explores the absurdity and interconnectedness of a life adrift. These 17 new stories feature characters who exhibit the Murphy’s law tendancies often pervasive in Maritimers: that feeling of dread often presaging something going horribly\, unpredictably wrong.Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Bookmark Halifax. \n“You go through life convinced you’re going to get diabetes like your old man and one day you choke to death on chicken gristle\, and the autopsy shows your blood sugars were perfect.”  -Rafael Has Pretty Eyes \n“McCluskey is the Queen of Invention. The endless sharp observations about surprisingly mobile modern-day life in the Maritimes are pointed and pungent; the book positively percolates with energy\, wit and precision.” — Calgary Herald  \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/328912529261564/

SUMMARY:Poets in Response to Peril
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, April 2 2022 at 2 p.m. Eastern Time\, join me and Penn Kemp as we bring together poets from all over in a special Oh!Sound National Poetry Month online celebration of poetry in response to precarious events in the world.  \nIn his famous elegy for W. B. Yeats\, W. H. Auden says\, “poetry makes nothing happen.” And he adds: “it survives\, / A way of happening\, a mouth.”  \nPenn and Susan reflected on this in light of the current situation in Ukraine. McCaslin writes : “On Feb. 24\, 2022\, when the world woke to the shock of the catastrophic bombing of Ukraine\, I asked myself and a few of my fellow poet friends how they would respond to Auden’s words\, especially in these perilous times.” Numerous poets responded\, and we invite everyone to join us as we bring them together to read their reflections and poems. \nPoets in Response to PerilSaturday April 2 20222:00 pm Eastern (room opens at 1:30 pm) \nTO JOIN:Please register at rsitoski.com > News & Events \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/437789511431605/

SUMMARY:The Storm Fairy\, by CT Ward
DESCRIPTION:Zoom launch on April 2 at 2 pm Atlantic\, 10 am Pacific\, 5 pm GMT/UTC.               All welcome\, registration required: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcudeuopz8tEtFYTKpMIb7ZEdjQcSVFfsMz \nThe Storm Fairy is a children’s book about a little girl who becomes friends with the most feared fairy in her village. While the rest of the villagers hide in their cottages and pretend the fairy isn’t there\, young Erin decides to go out and meet her. \nWhat she finds is a friend\, magic\, and a new way to see her world. \nThe author writes\, “I wrote The Storm Fairy as a fairy tale about mental illness. The goal was to encourage children to look beyond the symptoms of the illness and see the person underneath. There are a lot of ways that people can find themselves isolated from the rest of society\, such as trauma or illness\, cognitive\, age or physical differences\, so the book is helpful to a wider group of people than I first thought. The heart of the story is how friendship can make frightening things a little less scary\, and that with a little creativity and effort\, ways can be found to bring folks in from the storm.” \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/546051753473795/

DESCRIPTION:Nestuita’si Storytelling presents  \nKOQM \nWritten and performed by shalan joudry \nDirected by Ken Schwartz\, Mask Coaching by Ann-Marie Kerr \nCo-presented by Prismatic Arts Festival and Neptune Theatre \nFountain Hall\, Neptune TheatreApril 5 – April 17Tuesday to Friday – 7:30 pmSaturday and Sunday – 2 pm & 7:30 pm \nKoqm is a journey through time and land to experience the voices of fictional L’nu (Mi’kmaw) women. Throughout the course of the show we hear and meet the women who might have spoken and walked through one area of forest over centuries. Guided by the strength of an ancient tree (“koqm”)\, the women’s voices share with us their personal stories of grief\, humour and resiliency. \nTalkback \nThere will be a 30-minute discussion period after every evening performance for audience members who would like to stay for further conversation. Writer and actor shalan joudry welcomes questions or reflections that the show might have sparked. \nTrigger Warning \nPlease be aware that this performance includes references to harmful impacts of European-Canadian colonization suffered by L’nu’k (Mi’kmaq). Some of these include:  abuse at the residential school\, forced separation of families\, forced relocation\, loss of access to hunting and fishing grounds\, small pox\, genocide as well as lasting inter-generational effects of these. \nNo Alcohol \nThe KOQM team acknowledges the devastating role that alcohol played through colonization in compounding trauma to Indigenous families and communities. For this reason no alcohol will be available for sale in association with this production. Non-alcoholic beverages and snacks will be available.  \nMovement consultants: Susanne Chui & Sarah Prosper \ntree/petroglyph illustration by Milidow Joudry-Martel \nPhotography by Dan Froese \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1384434005299711/
