Chris Banks and Tanis MacDonald visit Kitchener Public Library to discuss their latest poetry collections with host Emily Urquhart.
In Bureau of Useless Splendour, Chris Banks explores what is wondrous and strange about human connection, pop culture, and the elusive search for understanding and hope in an accelerating century.
Tanis MacDonald’s Tall, Grass, Girl examines life between belonging and non-belonging, victimhood and bold survivorship. Unflinching and unapologetic, her work traces a journey through adoption and assault toward escape, resilience, and ultimately, hard-won survivor joy.
Registration required.
Doors: 6:30 p.m. Audience Q&A and book signing to follow.
Books will be available to purchase onsite from Words Worth Books
