Where the Silver River Ends is a lyrical meeting of family drama and magical folktale. The book rounds out a trilogy that began with Quon’s first two unrelated novels, Migration Songs (2009) and Low (2013).

Guest readers include award-winning novelist Stephanie Domet (who also MCs the event) and sensitivity reader Jen Schwartz, both of whom worked on Where the Silver River Ends. Readings will be followed by a Q & A.

Participant bios:

Anna Quon is a Mad, mixed-race poet and novelist. She facilitates writing workshops, particularly for the mental health community. Her first novel, Migration Songs, was shortlisted for the Dartmouth Book Award, and her second, Low, is set in Nova Scotia’s largest psychiatric hospital. Anna lives in Halifax. Learn more at annaquon.ca.

Stephanie Domet is a writer, editor, and teacher. Her novels Homing and Fallsy Downsies are published by Invisible Publishing. She is at work on a third. Her middle-grade readers book Amazing Atlantic Canadian Women, co-written with Penelope Jackson, is published by Nimbus. She is the co-executive director and co-founder of the AfterWords Literary Festival. She lives on unceded and unsurrendered Mi’kmaki, where she is forever feeding her sourdough starter and sewing a handmade wardrobe.

Jen Schwartz is a queer and disabled creative writer, and collaborative editor, living in Halifax. While her main goal in life is to be a joy seeker/sharer, she is particularly passionate about community, connection, words, and song—and how those things can change the world when combined. A former staff member at Elephant Journal and Mindful Magazine, you’ll often find Jen correcting grammar and typos in things publicly displayed, or pointing out song lyric references in everyday conversation.
