Thank you kindly. \nAbout the book: \nDaddy Lessons (Coach House Books\, 2023) \nIn this post-gender\, post-sexuality\, queer prairie Decameron\, Steacy Easton’s sexual anxiety becomes textual anxiety. This is a messy history of Mormon missionaries\, bathhouses\, Anglican boarding schools\, the back rooms of prairie bars\, Montreal classrooms\, and the many religious spaces that have tried to snuff out queer desire while turning a blind eye to abuse. These are provocative tales to turn on\, offend\, and sentimentalize. Easton explores the seminal texts of their sexuality\, from Frank O’Hara to Neil LaBute\, Kip Moore to Lorelei James\, and delves into their own encounters as they came of age. These daddy lessons are blunt about the ambivalences of trauma and the pleasures of disobedience\, slippery and difficult\, reveling in the funk of memory and desire. \nAbout the author: \nSteacy Easton is a writer and visual artist\, originally from Edmonton\, who has lived in Hamilton for more than seven years. They have written on gender\, sexuality\, and country music for publications including Slate\, NPR\, and the Atlantic Online. Their upcoming books include Why Tammy Wynette Matters for University of Texas and a 33 1⁄3 Volume for Bloomsbury. They were the 2022 Martha Street Artist Residence in Winnipeg. \nAbout the host: \nAndrea Warner writes and talks. A lot. She’s the author of 2023’s Rise Up and Sing! Power\, Protest\, and Activism in Music\, 2018’s Buffy Sainte-Marie: The Authorized Biography\, and co-wrote the 2022 documentary Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On. Andrea is a settler who was born and raised in Vancouver on the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish\, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. \n____ \nThis project has been made possible by the Government of Canada.
