Creative Writing Fall Book Launch
Date:
Thu, Oct 20th, 2022Time:
7:00 pm to 8:30 pm
Description:
Join us at the Alternator Gallery to celebrate the launch of books from two writers from the UBCO Creative Writing Program:
Andrea Routley, MFA alumna
This Unlikely Soil, the sophomore collection from Lambda Literary Award finalist Andrea Routley, is a quintet of linked novellas exploring the failures of kindness and connection among a rural west-coast community of queer women. Funny, incisive and at turns heart-breaking, these stories assert a powerful new voice in contemporary Canadian fiction.
Marissa Thompson, CRWR student
Short story chapbook Taking Care of Dead Plants is a delicate, clear-eyed story about Nan, a beloved family member who voluntarily chooses a physician-assisted suicide, told from the point of view of Lucy, Nan’s young granddaughter. Nan and Lucy are bound by a shared love of plant-tending, and leafy vines become emblems of the tenacity and beauty of life.
