Join us for the launch of WEST OF WEST INDIAN (Mawenzi House) by Linzey Corridon! In conversation with Ronald Cummings. Join us for the launch of WEST OF WEST INDIAN (Mawenzi House) by Linzey Corridon! In conversation with Ronald Cummings. ABOUT WEST OF WEST INDIAN: West of West Indian constructs the Queer Caribbean experience as simultaneously individual and collective, embracing the language that continues to unsettle queer life. The collection is, at once, a summons and a love letter to familiar figures like the Bullerman, the Chichiman, the Funny man, and the Anty man. It collects a distinctly queer Vincentian Canadian account of love and autonomy, and while it represents a written journey into queer pain, it is also an exhibition of pleasure flowing through the bodies and minds of its many subjects. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Linzey Corridon is a mixed-race (Afro-Euro-Indo Caribbean) educator, and a Vincentian-Canadian poet and critic. He is the 2021 recipient of Canada’s Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship and is currently completing doctoral work on the nuances of the Queeribbean quotidian at McMaster University. His writing has been published in The Puritan, Kola, SX Salon, Hamilton Arts and Letters, Montreal Writes and more. He lives in Hamilton, Ontario. ABOUT RONALD CUMMINGS: Ronald Cummings is an associate professor of Black Studies at McMaster University. Information Source: Another Story Bookshop | eventbrite

Join us for reading and conversation with Diane Morrisseau and Elisabeth Brannigan, authors of ONE SECOND AT A TIME. Hosted by Nancy Cooper. Join us for the launch of One Second at a Time: My Story of Pain and Reclamation (UBC Press) by Diane Morrisseau, with Elisabeth Brannigan, in conversation with Nancy Cooper. ABOUT THE BOOK: Bullied and abused at the Fort Alexander Indian Residential day school, Diane Morrisseau fought back and left school at the age of fifteen. Despite her strength, a childhood of trauma and abuse led her into the arms of Edgar Olson, and by sixteen, the young Ojibway-Anishinabe woman had given birth to her first child and married the man who would become her tormentor for the next eighteen years. Notoriously violent, her abuser was aided and abetted by the systems of colonialism that failed to protect Diane during her childhood. Edgar was able to keep Diane and her children trapped in a cycle of violence for years, without being held accountable by law or society. What could have been a chronicle of unrelenting hardship instead becomes a narrative of how, in horrific circumstances, Diane found the strength to survive, reclaim her life, and eventually thrive. Today she draws meaning from her painful past, counseling women, children and men experiencing similarly difficult circumstances. ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Diane Morrisseau is an Elder and counsellor from Sagkeeng First Nation and lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba Elisabeth Brannigan is an elementary school teacher who lives with her family in Toronto, Ontario. ABOUT THE HOST: Nancy Cooper is a member of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation. Nancy is a Children's author and is working on her third book at the moment.

Join us for the launch of Dry Your Tears to Perfect Your Aim (Book*hug) by Jacob Wren! In conversation with Malcolm Sutton. Bookhug will provide light snacks. ABOUT DRY YOUR TEARS TO PERFECT YOUR AIM: What are the best ways to support political struggles that aren't your own? What are the fundamental principles of a utopia during war? Can we transcend the societal values we inherit? Dry Your Tears to Perfect Your Aim is a remarkably original, literary page-turner that explores such pressing questions of our time. A depressed writer visits a war zone. He knows it's a bad idea, but his curiosity and obsession that his tax dollars help to pay for foreign wars draw him there. Amid the fighting, he stumbles into a small strip of land that's being reimagined as a grassroots, feminist, egalitarian utopia. As he learns about the principles of the collective, he moves between a fragile sense of self and the ethical considerations of writing about what he experiences but cannot truly fathom. Meanwhile, women in his life-from this reimagined society and elsewhere-underscore truths hidden in plain sight. In these pages, real-world politics mingle with profoundly inventive fabulations. This is an anti-war novel unlike any other, an intricate study of our complicity in violent global systems and a celebration of the hope that underpins the resistance against them. ABOUT JACOB WREN: Jacob Wren makes literature, performances, and exhibitions. His books include Revenge Fantasies of the Politically Dispossessed; Polyamorous Love Song (finalist for the Fence Modern Prize in Prose and a Globe and Mail Best Book of 2014); Rich and Poor (finalist for the Paragraphe Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction and a Globe and Mail best book of 2016); and Authenticity is a Feeling. He is artistic co-director of the Montreal-based interdisciplinary group PME-ART. Wren lives in Montreal. ABOUT MALCOLM SUTTON: Malcolm Sutton lives in Toronto. His fiction has appeared in Maisonneuve and Joyland, and his writing on art has appeared in C Magazine and Border Crossings. He is the Founding Editor of The Coming Envelope journal of innovative prose, and the Fiction Editor at BookThug Press. Job Shadowing is his debut novel.Book Cover: Information Source: Another Story Bookshop | eventbrite

Join us for a signing and art activity with Andi Vicente and Allan Matudio, author and illustrator of One Box! ABOUT THE BOOK: One Box is a children’s counting story about a migrant worker sending a box of gifts and supplies to their loved ones in the Philippines. Also known as Balikbayan boxes, these are typically filled with things like canned goods, clothing and snacks. But in One Box there’s more than just stuff — it’s full of promises. With tenderness and gorgeous illustrations, this Filipino parent tells their child about all the things they will do together when they are reunited. Part of a young queer family separated by migration and indentured labour, they don’t count the days. They count the ways they will rebuild their relationships. ABOUT ANDI AND ALLAN: Andi Vicente (they/them) is a visual artist whose interdisciplinary practice is humbled and radicalized by their work with different communities. Through installation, image making and digital collage, they explore intersectional identities, precarious livelihoods and the juxtaposition of movements. Andi aims to broaden an understanding of oppressed experiences and encourage collective empowerment through answering the questions: “Who is not here with us and how can I be there for you?” Allan Matudio is a multidisciplinary artist born to Filipino parents in Tio'tia:ke/Montreal. He gravitates towards illustrations, comics and metalwork as his main mediums of expression. His art practice focuses on the Filipino-Canadian identity, migrant worker struggles and pre-colonial Filipino art and mythology. Information Source: Another Story Bookshop | eventbrite
