Meet us in the Tiki Room of the Tranzac Club
292 Brunswick Avenue, Toronto
Still waiting for a good excuse to brave the cold? Bundle up and come join us Wednesday, January 30th to welcome Nazbah Tom, Aaron Kreuter and Frances Boyle!
Nazbah Tom is a queer Diné. They believe we are always moving towards healing and their work supports that process using somatic theory, practice, and hands on bodywork. As a writer their work focuses on poetry, prose, and film. They are a part of a few anthologies and online journals. They do their best to capture poems and stories haunting them at all hours of the day. As a guest on this land in Tkaronto, their goal is to continue to build community and power with local Indigenous folks who have taken care of this land for thousands of years.
Aaron Kreuter is the author of the poetry collection Arguments for Lawn Chairs, and the short story collection, You and Me, Belonging, which came out this past fall. He teaches and dissertates at York University. He lives in Toronto.
Frances Boyle is the author of one previous book, the poetry collection Light-carved Passages, as well as a chapbook, Portal Stones, which won the Tree Reading Series chapbook contest. Her writing has also received the Diana Brebner Prize and awards in The Great Canadian Literary Hunt. She has published work in literary magazines throughout Canada and in the United States as well as in anthologies with themes as varied as the films of Alfred Hitchcock and form poetry. Raised on the Canadian prairies, Frances lived on the West Coast for 12 years and now makes her home in Ottawa with her partner, Tim Stanley; they have two grown daughters and a large standard poodle who believes he is a lap dog.
