SUMMARY:Cover Story - Deborah DeJong in the Massy Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of Deborah DeJong’s Cover Story at the Massy Gallery.\n\n\n \n\n\nOpening Reception\, September 21st at 2pm\n\n\nExhibiting September 17th through till October 15.\n\n\n \n\n\nThis visual show invites the viewer to get ‘under the covers\,’ to intentionally consider any words that emerge from the mind in the encounter with the work.\n\n\n \n\n\nIt acknowledges the complexity of what we see; it invites us to ‘read’ past the ‘headlines’ of an image and become receptive to connecting with elements below its—and our—surface.\n\n\n \n\n\nThis show invites the viewer to act\, and more specifically\, to WRITE: express; be moved; comment; be piqued; engage; be enflamed.\n\n\n\nIn fact\, this show presents the viewer with the impetus to scribe not only a few words or phrases\, but to draft a full-on poem! Intended as the footing for an entire poetry session in mid-October\, poems that are submitted will be read aloud (by you\, the poet\, if you so choose\, or a volunteer—we’ve got you covered) on the evening of Wednesday\, October 16th\, right here at Massy Books.\n\n\n \n\n\nDeborah DeJong\, a photographer with a daily drawing discipline\, secretly writes the occasional poem in her spare time. A one-time elementary school teacher who’s been on a long recess\, soon she’ll be getting back to class! Attending Poet’s Corner\, a monthly gathering held here at Massy Books\, satisfies DeJong’s artistic urges on two levels: the poetic\, and the photographic. Having had her images featured in numerous group shows over the past few years\, Cover Story is DeJong’s first solo show.\n\n\n.\n\n\n.\n\n\n.\n\n\nThis event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh Nations.\n\n\n \n\n\nUnfortunately\, Massy Books’ upstairs event space is not wheelchair accessible.\n\n\n \n\n\nMassy Books is easily accessible by transit! Close to the 22\, 3\, 8 and 19 bus lines at Main and Georgia/Gore and Georgia. There is metered street parking along Georgia\, or lot parking at the Sun Wah Centre around the corner (268 Keefer).

SUMMARY:Little Blue Encyclopedia Vancouver launch
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver\, please join author Hazel Jane Plante for the hometown launch of her debut novel ▼Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian)▲ \n✦October 10\, 7 pm\n✦Massy Books\n✦229 E Georgia St\n✦Free \n*with special guest Raven Slander* \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \n“I’m writing an encyclopedia about a television show for a friend of mine who died\,” says the narrator of Little Blue Encyclopedia. \nHazel’s novel does just that\, in layered\, delightful\, and dense prose. \nThe author will also appear in September at Canzine Vancouver. \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nLITTLE BLUE ENCYCLOPEDIA (FOR VIVIAN) sifts through a queer trans woman’s unrequited love for her straight trans friend who died. A queer love letter steeped in desire\, grief\, and delight\, the story is interspersed with encyclopedia entries about a fictional TV show set on an isolated island. The experimental form functions at once as a manual for how pop culture can help soothe and mend us and as an exploration of oft-overlooked sources of pleasure\, including karaoke\, birding\, and butt toys. Ultimately\, Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian) reveals with glorious detail and emotional nuance the woman the narrator loved\, why she loved her\, and the depths of what she has lost. \nZoey Leigh Peterson\, author of Next Year\, For Sure\, calls Little Blue Encyclopedia “an exquisite\, kaleidoscopic novel bursting with ache and delight.” \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nHAZEL JANE PLANTE is a queer trans librarian\, cat photographer\, and writer. In a previous life\, she co-founded a micro-press\, co-edited a little literary journal\, co-hosted a podcast\, and released lo-fi albums under the name Sparse. Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian) is her first novel. \nShe currently lives in Vancouver on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish)\, and sə̓lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \nThis event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh Nations. \nMassy Books is easily accessible by transit! Close to the 22\, 3\, 8 and 19 bus lines at Main and Georgia/Gore and Georgia. There is metered street parking along Georgia\, or lot parking at the Sun Wah Centre around the corner (268 Keefer). \nMassy Books’ downstairs event space is accessible!
