SUMMARY:Sechelt Library: Arleen Paré Author Event
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning poet Arleen Paré\, from Victoria\, presents a timely and emotional poetry collection—Encrypted is a tribute to family and youth in a time of complex anxiety and loneliness. \nIn September 2020\, Arleen Paré’s almost twenty-year old grandson moved into the basement of her home to attend courses nearby. After suffering a bout of severe anxiety and depression\, he was forced to drop out of his second-year computer science program after one month. In an effort to quell her own feelings of helplessness and growing anxiety about the situation\, Paré turned to poetry. \nIn the words of Jane Munro\, Paré assessed the age of anxiety with “anguished clarity”—social media\, climate crisis\, pandemic\, addiction\, inflation\, depression. Both a tender tribute to a beloved grandson and an elegy for coming of age in our modern\, online society\, Encrypted is an honest and illuminating narrative of a life arrested and a home haunted by grief\nEventually\, her grandson was able to return\, little by little\, to his studies. Paré’s grandson still lives with her today. \nArleen Paré is a Victoria writer with ten collections of poetry\, one chapbook and one co-edited anthology. She’s been short-listed for the Dorothy Livesay BC Award\, and has won the Victoria Butler Book Prize\, a CBC Bookie Prize\, the bp Nichol Chapbook Award\, the American Golden Crown Award for Lesbian Poetry\, twice\, and a Governor Generals’ Award for Poetry. She lives with her wife\, Chris Fox\, in Victoria on the traditional lands of the Coast Salish people. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:SC Botanical Gardens: Jan DeGrass Book Launch of “Temptations and Travels”
DESCRIPTION:Author Jan DeGrass will launch her new book of stories\, Temptations and Travels\, that are part imagination\, part memory in the natural beauty of the Sunshine Coast Botanical Gardens. Temptations and Travels is a collection of stories that wander freely between fiction and lived experience. Here are tales of travels\, trials and temptations. Some tales grow from remembered journeys; others from moments half-forgotten but reshaped and embellished by the storyteller. \nA medieval monk is sorely tempted by a visit from a mysterious woodland woman. The author travels across the stark\, volatile landscapes of Iceland\, where volcanoes and rushing rivers invite wonder and introspection. A mother and daughter guard secrets from one another—each believing silence is an act of love. Elsewhere\, life’s lessons are learned in unlikely forms: from a curious emu\, from chance meetings with passengers on a train or from a handsome stranger in a remote British Columbia gold-rush town. Together they form a rich mosaic of travel\, reflection\, and the small\ntemptations that test human nature.
