SUMMARY:Opheliac: Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:This is a free event\, but please RSVP on this Eventbrite page due to limited capacity: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/opheliac-launch-party-tickets-1035204884677?aff=oddtdtcreator \nOPHELIAC: LAUNCH PARTY \nJoin us on Wednesday\, November 20th to launch Opheliac\, the debut of BC-based author Emma Sloan. \nAs an informal night of celebration\, mingle with others in the literary community while enjoying Caffe Fantastico’s wide variety of seasonal sips and eats. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options will be available. \nMORE ABOUT THE AUTHOR: \nEmma Sloan is a poet\, short fiction author\, and journalist of 10+ years with works published across 300+ international publications. \nAs a Writing and Publishing graduate of the University of Victoria in British Columbia\, Canada\, Emma works as a professional copywriter. \nHer chapbook Opheliac was named a finalist in the Black River Chapbook Competition and is forthcoming with Black Lawrence Press in Fall 2024. \nPRAISE FOR OPHELIAC: \nOpheliac invites lovers of both Shakespeare and wordplay with vivid imagery that invokes a sensory experience throughout. This modern retelling of the literary figure of Ophelia leaves room to ponder femininity\, fragility\, and the haunting impact of tragedy–and is a collection to read again and again. \n–Natasha Silva\, author of North Star Heart \nIn Opheliac\, Emma Sloan shatters memory and rearranges its pieces into arresting shapes. The past is never far away in Opheliac—but that doesn’t stop Sloan from trying to grow a new “girl tongue\,” a voice with which to tell overlooked and necessary truths: “This is a reel of film / on the cutting room floor.” \n–Lucy Wainger\, author of In Life There Are Many Things \nMORE ABOUT THE BLACK LAWRENCE PRESS: \nFounded in upstate New York\, The Black Lawrence Press is an independent publisher of contemporary poetry\, fiction\, and creative nonfiction. \nTheir collections are distributed nationally through Independent Publishers Group to Amazon\, Barnes & Noble\, and various brick and mortar retailers\, as well as assorted conferences and book fairs.
