SUMMARY:Book Launch: THE SACRED HEART MOTEL
DESCRIPTION:Join Grace Kwan for their hometown launch of THE SACRED HEART MOTEL\, hosted at the City Centre Artist Lodge (Well Studios) in Mount Pleasant. \nFeaturing special guests Kyla Jamieson and Clio Lake \nFood! Drinks! Readings! Heart-shaped key chains! \nThis is a free event. There is one flight of stairs to access the venue. There is one all-genders washroom. \n// \nIn poet Grace Kwan’s debut\, they are ruthless and nimble\, guiding us through the recesses of body and roadside space. The reader tours the motel through this multiverse narrative\, from amenities to rooms to back alleys\, through the generations of ghosts and queer love stories\, until they are left alone with the heart at the centre. The Sacred Heart Motel is a disorienting\, startling collection about placelessness and longing. \nKyla Jamieson (she/her) is the author of Body Count (Nightwood Editions\, 2020)\, which was shortlisted for the Pat Lowther Memorial Award\, named a CBC Best Poetry Book of 2020\, and awarded third place in the Metatron Prize for Rising Authors by CA Conrad and Anne Boyer. Kyla currently lives and relies on the traditional unceded territories of the Squamish\, Musqueam\, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations\, where she dreams of systemic change\, care-full futures\, and disabled joy. Find her online or in the water. \nGrace Kwan is a Malaysian-born sociologist and writer based in “Vancouver\,” the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish\, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. Their recent poetry appears in Canthius\, Room Magazine\, and others. Find them at https://grckwn.wordpress.com/. \nClio Lake is mixed\, trans\, and gnc\, living as a settler on unceded xʷməθkʷəy̓əm\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh\, and səlil̓wətaʔɬ territories. They like bosc pears\, pomegranates\, and being in the water. You can find her writing collected by Publication Studio Vancouver\, BiteZine N°2\, and in ___figuration: an anthology of trans writers\, forthcoming from Gnashing Teeth. She is a recipient of accolade for drama from the UC Writing Awards.
