SUMMARY:Laura Ritland\, Shazia Hafiz Ramji\, and Carolyn Nakagawa
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a evening of poetry with Laura Ritland\, Shazia Hafiz Ramji\, and Carolyn Nakagawa! \nLaura Ritland will be launching her first book of poetry\, East and West! \n“East and West\, Laura Ritland’s astonishing debut\, is a book of visions. These are roving poems drawn to defamiliarizing points of view\, and are exquisitely attentive to the way the world exceeds our senses (“Cloud deduced cloud / after cloud and cloud.”) Beckoningly tender\, lucid and intelligent\, elegiac without being maudlin\, East and West explores what Ritland calls the “middle ground” of childhood\, family\, diaspora\, and migration\, and how new cultural ideas can disrupt traditional perspectives. “My bedroom window an escape hatch / to endless sights of coastal stars.” Ritland takes the measure of herself—“I’m an integer of my own society”—in one of the most distinctive and beautifully turned styles in Canadian poetry. \n\nReviews: \n“What I love most in these poems is their insistence on being of two minds. There is such tension here between past and present\, contact and isolation\, heart and head\, the resignation of our species to this current moment and its stubborn hopes for a future. What a smart\, moving first\nbook!” – Julie Bruck \n“A phrase maker of astonishing power\, Laura Ritland’s subjects are civility\, kindness\, hysteria\, the body\, art and migration. An achingly elegiac work\, East and West surveys the ruins of memory\, family and selfhood\, and draws out of them a poetic identity rooted in compassion and realism. This\nbook is magnificent.” – Richard Greene \nIn East and West\, Laura Ritland deploys a penetrating wit\, explosive technical prowess\, and profound ability to discern the human truths within the muddle of the human condition. The cognitive leaps of this bold and beautiful book.” –Rhea Tregebov \n\nLaura Ritland’s poems have appeared in \,The Fiddlehead\, CNQ\, The Walrus\, Maisonneuve\, Arc Poetry Magazine\, and The Malahat Review. A recipient of the 2014 Malahat Far Horizons Award for Poetry\, she currently divides her time between Vancouver and California\, where she is a PhD student in English at UC Berkeley.
