SUMMARY:Sechelt Library: Author Event with Theresa Kishkan
DESCRIPTION:At 23\, Theresa Kishkan met an artist who became obsessed with her. She was young\, she was flattered\, and the situation quickly overwhelmed her. \nDecades later\, while sorting old correspondence\, she was taken back to those early days and began\, at last\, to write about her relationship with the now-deceased artist. The Art of Looking Back is a meditation on the male gaze\, on reclaiming one’s younger self\, and on agency: how we lose it\, how we find it again. This poetic memoir asks questions about older men and younger women and girls\, and the persistence of that dynamic in art. \nAbout the author:\nTheresa Kishkan lives near Ruby Lake with her husband\, poet John Pass\, in a house they built in the early 1980s and where they raised their 3 children. She has published 16 books\, most recently Euclid’s Orchard\, The Weight of the Heart and Blue Portugal and Other Essays. \nFREE but registration required. Please register on the Sechelt Library website or gives a us a call at 604-885-3260. Talewind Books will have books available for purchase at the event.

SUMMARY:Coopers Green Hall: Georgia Fats with Joe Stanton
DESCRIPTION:Bringing their signature gritty\, greasy\, groove-heavy sound—blues\, rock\, old country\, gospel—all stripped down and dialed in. Joined by Halfmoon Bay’s own Joe Stanton\, whose warm baritone and fingerstyle guitar add that deep\, rootsy edge.\nIt’s the kind of music you don’t politely sit through. It’s a deep\, rhythmic\, blues-driven experience you don’t just hear… you feel and move too.
