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:The Causes - Cathy Stonehouse Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Massy Books for the launch of Cathy Stonehouse’s debut novel “The Causes.”  (Pedlar Press)With host Lydia Kwa and guest reader Natasha Gauthier. \nOctober 4//7pm\nFree Entry \nCathy Stonehouse was a teenager in the UK when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands. Opening salvos in April 1982 would go on to become a 74-day war over who owned the British-held territory in the southernmost reaches of the Atlantic Ocean. Stonehouse\, a young peace activist\, was deeply affected by living in a country at war\, one that seemed to happen only on television. Thirty years later\, she began work on The Causes. This complex and unsettling debut novel follows the young Argentine conscript José Ramirez from his torture on the bleak plains of the Falklands\, back into his childhood in pre-revolution Argentina\, and forward across continents as he grapples with the loss of his father and his country as he knew it. Carlos Ramirez is taken by force from his apartment\, leaving behind only a pair of broken glasses. His son\, Jose\, is left with unanswerable questions that become threatening after Jose is sent to the Malvinas to fight an impossible war. Mysterious\, gripping\, poetic and magic-realist\, The Causes is a love story for a threatened planet\, set in Argentina\, Spain\, the UK\, and the South Atlantic. \nLydia Kwa lives and works in Vancouver as a clinical psychologist and a writer. She went to University of Toronto to do a Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology\, then spent 7 years at Queen’s University in Kingston getting her MA and PhD. While at Queen’s\, she started to take her writing more seriously and would drop into a writers’ group that met on the top floor of the Grad Club on Monday nights. In 1989\, the poems she submitted to two campus periodicals won prizes. It was also the year her poems were first published in a Canadian literary magazine: CV2 out of Winnipeg\, Manitoba. \nToday\, Lydia works out of her own office as a full-time psychologist at the edge of Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver. She has several published books\, including: This Place Called Absence\, The Walking Boy\, Pulse\, and her latest work— sinuous\, a long poem that spans about fourteen years\, and covers various experiences of living in Canada\, including her reflections on the nature of trauma\, the resilience of the human spirit\, and the healing that comes from practices such as meditation and ki aikido. \nNatasha Gauthier is a Metis/mixed-heritage writer and visual artist living on unceded Coast Salish territory in Cloverdale\, BC. Her writing has previously appeared in The Malahat Review\, Pulp Magazine\, The Capilano Review\, Prairie Fire & CV2’s joint “ndncountry” issue\, and Poetry is Dead. Some themes she explores in her work are hybridity & consciousness\, lack of place/otherness\, Metis identity\, gender\, addiction\, and the absurd. \nThis event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh Nations. \nMassy Books’ downstairs event space is accessible! You can view the floorplan here: http://www.massybooks.com/accessibility/\nPlease feel free to reach out with any inquiries. \nMassy Books is easily accessible by transit!

SUMMARY:Offsite Sales: Major Misconduct Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join author and award-winning journalist Jeremy Allingham for the launch of his new book “Major Misconduct: The Human Cost of Fighting in Hockey”. Featuring a conversation between Allingham and acclaimed CBC sports broadcaster (and Olympian) Karin Larsen. \nFree entry\, with books available to purchase. \nPresented in partnership with Arsenal Pulp Press and Massy Books. \n*The BC Sports Hall of Fame has a limited space. Please RSVP early on Eventbrite to secure your seat. As a courtesy to others\, if you are no longer able to attend\, please cancel your reservation so others may reserve a ticket.* \nABOUT THE BOOK\nEvery night in hockey arenas across Canada and the United States\, modern-day gladiators drop their gloves and exchange bare-fisted blows to the bloodthirsty roars of the paying public. Tens of millions of people a year\, including children\, watch and cheer on the fighters. Some players are paid handsomely; others barely a living wage. But either way\, these fighters are lauded\, valued\, and considered to be essential to the game. That is\, until their playing days are over. Hockey enforcers spend their lives fighting on ice to protect their teammates and entertain their fans\, but when their playing days are over\, who’s left to fight for them? \nMajor Misconduct scrutinizes a highly dangerous and controversial cultural practice. The book dives deep into the lives of three former hockey fighters who\, years after their playing days ended\, are still struggling with the pain and suffering that comes from bare-knuckle boxing on ice. All of these men believe they may be living with the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy. They may have had their shot at pro hockey glory\, but none of them is rich or famous\, and the game has left them with injuries and trauma. They have experienced estrangement\, mental health issues\, addiction\, and brushes with the law. And they’ve stared death in the face. \nThe debate surrounding fighting in hockey is hotly contested on both sides. This daring and revelatory book explores the lives of those who bare-knuckle boxed on ice for a living and investigates the human cost we’re willing to tolerate in the name of hockey fighting. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nJeremy Allingham is an award-winning journalist and musician from Vancouver. He works for the CBC\, where some of his most recent and poignant work has included in-depth coverage of fighting in junior hockey; the opioid crisis; climate catastrophe and the energy industry; the craft beer industry; local\, provincial\, and federal politics; and pretty much anything and everything sports and music related. \nVENUE AND ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION\nPlease enter through Gate A\, located off of Beatty Street. The BC Sports Hall of Fame is wheelchair accessible. Washrooms are gendered with wheelchair accessible stalls in the men’s and women’s washrooms. \nIf you have additional questions about accessibility\, please get in touch with Rebecca Peng\, publicist:\nrebecca@zgcommunications.com

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!

SUMMARY:Vancouver Book Launch: The Blue Road
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the launch of The Blue Road: A Fable of Migration! \nAbout the book:\nIn this stunning graphic novel\, Lacuna is a girl without a family\, a past\, or a proper home. She lives alone in a swamp made of ink\, but with the help of Polaris\, a will-o’-the-wisp\, she embarks for the fabled Northern Kingdom\, where she might find people like her. The only way to get there\, though\, is to travel the strange and dangerous Blue Road that stretches to the horizon like a mark upon a page. Along the way\, Lacuna must overcome trials such as the twisted briars of the Thicket of Tickets and the intractable guard at the Rainbow Border. At the end of her treacherous journey\, she reaches a city where memory and vision can be turned against you\, in a world of dazzling beauty\, divisive magic\, and unlikely deliverance. Finally\, Lacuna learns that leaving\, arriving\, returning – they’re all just different words for the same thing: starting all over again. \nThe Blue Road – the first graphic novel by acclaimed poet and prose writer Wayde Compton and illustrator April dela Noche Milne – explores the world from a migrant’s perspective with dreamlike wonder.\n— \nThis event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh Nations. \nMassy Books’ downstairs event space is accessible.

SUMMARY:Devil in the Woods
DESCRIPTION:Join us as D.A. Lockhart reads from his fourth collection of poetry\, “Devil in the Woods” \nD.A. Lockhart’s stunning and subversive fourth collection gives us the words\, thoughts\, and experiences of an Anishinaabe guy from Central Ontario and the manner in which he interacts with central aspects and icons of settler Canadian culture. Riffing off Richard Hugo’s 31 Letters and 13 Dreams\, the work utilizes contemporary Indigenous poetics to carve out space for often ignored voices in dominant Canadian discourse (and in particular for a response to this dominance through the cultural background of an Indigenous person living on land that has been fundamentally changed by settler culture). \nThe letter poems comprise a large portion of this collection and are each addressed to specific key public figures—from Sarah Polley to Pierre Berton\, k.d. lang to Robertson Davies\, Don Cherry to Emily Carr. The second portion of the pieces are prayer poems\, which tenderly illustrate hybrid notions of faith that have developed in contemporary Indigenous societies in response to modern and historical realities of life in Canada. Together\, these poems act as a lyric whole to push back against the dominant view of Canadian political and pop-culture history and offer a view of a decolonized nation. \n“Rock-solid … full of heartfelt grit and conviction. D.A. Lockhart conjures the world through a catalogue of vivid particulars and a cast of inimitable characters\, from Edna Puskamoose\, a locally famous Pow-Wow dancer\, to James Bond\, that internationally notorious ‘colonial trickster.’ This is poetry that follows the ‘right crooked path’ through ‘the medicine smoke of history.’” —Campbell McGrath \nD.A. Lockhart is the author of The Gravel Lot that Was Montana\, This City at the Crossroads\, and Big Medicine Comes to Erie. His work has received multiple Pushcart Prize nominations. He is also the publisher at Urban Farmhouse Press. A Turtle Clan member of the Moravian of the Thames First Nation\, Lockhart currently resides at Waawiiyaatanong on the south shore of the Detroit River (most often referred to as the border cities of Windsor ON and Detroit MI). Devil in the Woods is his fourth poetry collection. \nThis event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh Nations. \nMassy Books’ downstairs event space is accessible!

In a bathtub in a rooming house in Montreal in 1980\, a woman tries to imagine a new life for herself: a life after a passionate affair with a man while falling for a woman\, a life that makes sense after her deep involvement in far left politics during the turbulent 70s of Quebec\, a life whose form she knows can only be grasped as she speaks it. A new\, revised edition of a seminal work of edgy\, experimental feminism. With a foreword by Eileen Myles.\n\n\n \n\n\nGail Scott was born in Ottawa and grew up in a bilingual community in Eastern Ontario. She worked as a journalist for several years writing about Quebec culture and politics for The Gazette\, as well as contributing to The Globe & Mail and Maclean’s.

Most recently\, she translated Lise Tremblay’s Mile End (La danse juive\, Lemeac\, 1999). She lives in Montréal.\n\n\n \n\n\nFred Wah studied music and English literature at the University of British Columbia in the early 1960’s where he was one of the founding editors of the poetry newsletter TISH. After many years of teaching in the West Kootenays and at the University of Calgary\, he now lives in Vancouver.

Recent books are is a door (2009)\, Scree: The Collected Earlier Poems 1962-1991\, and beholden: a poem as long as the river\, a collaboration with Rita Wong (2018).\n\n\n \n\n\nAcclaimed poet\, writer and historian Meredith Quartermain is known across Canada as a writer of urban spaces and an innovator of narrative forms. Her first book\, Vancouver Walking\, won the 2006 BC Book Award for Poetry.

SUMMARY:Aleph Null\, Graphic Synthesizer - Jim Andrews in the Massy Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of Jim Andrew’s Aleph Null\, Graphic Synthesizer at the Massy Gallery\, featuring works signed by and created in collaboration with Bill Bisset. \nOpening Reception\, Friday October 25th at 6pm\nExhibiting through till November 20. \n“I created the prints in my Oct 25 – Nov 20\, 2019 show at Massy Books in Vancouver with interactive\, generative software I wrote called Aleph Null. I’ve been writing it since 2011. It’s up to version 3.1 as of this writing; I have plans for version 4.0. I haven’t written myself into a corner yet\, and I can see many exciting possibs. It’s not an AI—if a requirement of AI is that it learns; some say it is; others say it’s sufficient that the program seems intelligent. The person using Aleph Null is required to do the learning—like you learn how to play an instrument or use a tool—and Aleph Null is\, well\, more about being beautiful than intelligent. It’s an online program to explore some of the possibilities of interactive\, generative art. I think of it as part instrument\, part tool\, and part work of art itself.”\nvispo.com/massy

SUMMARY:Thicket - Melanie Janisse-Barlow
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Melanie Janisse-Barlow’s second book of poetry\, “Thicket.” \nMelanie Janisse-Barlow’s second book of poetry\, Thicket\, is a treatise on risk and the uncertainties of language in the modern world. In poems that gather and collect force page after page\, Thicket negotiates humankind’s overwhelming desire to communicate\, and the discomfort that comes with the process of entanglement/disentanglement. When Janisse-Barlow writes of a “thousand awkward conversations\,” she’s working away at the knots of language\, unraveling and recombining the threads to create self-styled lyric essays. Thicket is a linguistic tour de force. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR: \nMelanie Janisse-Barlow is a poet and artist. Her collection of poetry\, Orioles in the Oranges (Guernica\, 2009)\, was listed for the Relit Award\, and her essay poems Detroit were listed in Best American Essays (2013).

SUMMARY:Whore's Manifesto Vancouver Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Massy Books as Kay Kassirer reads from “A Whore’s Manifesto: An Anthology of Writing and Artwork by Sex Work.” \nSex work was once thought to be anathema to women’s liberation. Now\, to some\, we represent the tenacity of women’s struggles under patriarchy and capitalism—that is\, at least\, the white\, straight\, cis\, able-bodied sex workers who don’t engage in actual sex with clients. These are the workers who get the glossy media profiles and get touted as feminist icons. But the red umbrella is wide and covers so many: escorts\, sugar babies\, strippers\, session wrestlers\, cam performers\, fetish models\, DIY queer porn stars\, and the full range of gender\, race\, and ability. Our work and our identities are as vast and variable as the spectrum of sexuality itself. We do the work. In the streets\, in the clubs\, in hotel rooms\, and in play party dungeons. We make dreams come true so we can afford a place to sleep. We do business in a marketplace that politicians and police are constantly burning down for our “own safety and dignity.” We have high heels and higher anxiety. This isn’t a collection of sob stories of heartbroken whores. This is a testament of life at ground zero of sexual discourse\, the songs of canaries in the coal mines of sex\, gender\, class\, race\, and disability. We may dance on the table\, but we still demand our seat at it. Sex workers of the world unite. This is A Whore’s Manifesto. \nKay Kassirer (they/them) is a poet\, activist\, youth advocate\, community organizer\, and sex worker. They have toured internationally with the chapbooks Confessions of a Queer and Unbandage the Wounds\, and have earned their place on several competitive final stages – notably the Capturing Fire International Queer Slam (2016)\, the Canadian Individual Poetry Slam (2016\, 2017)\, and the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word where they placed third nationally (2018). Kay currently resides on the unceded lands of the Musqueam\, Squamish\, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations – colonially known as Vancouver. \nThis event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh Nations. \nMassy Books’ downstairs event space is accessible!
