DESCRIPTION:When: Thursday\, January 23\, 7pm-9pm\n\nWhere: Anticafé Vieux-
 Port\, 406 Notre-Dame St. East\, Montreal\, Quebec H2Y 1C8\n\nHow can well
 ness be imagined for and by survivors of ongoing\, intersectional trauma? 
 Addressing trauma as experienced by individual\, chronically ill bodies an
 d on an ecological scale\, these poems turn to secular ritual and magic as
  ethical structures that may permit healing to coexist and engage politica
 lly with complex harms.\n\nRebecca Salazar (she/they) is the author of the
  knife that justifies the wound (Rahila’s Ghost) and Guzzle (Anstruther Pr
 ess)\, a poetry editor for The Fiddlehead and Plenitude magazines\, and a 
 PhD candidate living on the unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik and Mi’k
 maq peoples.\n\nYou think that because you understand “one” that you must 
 therefore understand “two” because one and one make two. But you forget th
 at you must also understand “and.”—Sufi parable\n\nFor far too long we hav
 e othered nature\; the distinction between humans and the land has only bo
 lstered illusions of authority and hierarchy. If\, as Phyllis Webb suggest
 ed\, poetry cannot change the world\, it can change individual consciousne
 ss—starting with the poet’s—in efforts to understand the “and” between “on
 e” and “one.” This reading explores ecological grief\, the responsibility 
 of connection\, and gratitude.\n\nchristian favreau is a poet and activist
  living in Montréal (Tiohtiá:ke). His work has appeared in The 51�Թ���Dail
 y Literary Supplement and Vallum. His forthcoming book of poetry with Jack
 Pine Press will be available in late 2020.\n\nIn “Talking to Grief\,” poet
  Denise Levertov depicts grief as a stray dog desiring the companionship o
 f the speaker—suggesting that taking ownership of grief transforms both th
 e emotion and those experiencing it. In dialogue with Levertov\, Jaeggle’s
  Night of the Crash\, a sequence of poems on the death of the narrator’s s
 on\, proposes that wellness is only antithetical to grief when grief is de
 nied its history.\n\nM.W. Jaeggle’s poetry has appeared in The Antigonish 
 Review\, Contemporary Verse 2\, The Dalhousie Review\, Vallum\, The Veg\, 
 and elsewhere. He is author of two chapbooks\, Janus on the Pacific and Th
 e Night of the Crash. While pursuing an MA at McGill\, Mike served as Poet
 ry Editor at Scrivener Creative Review and was awarded the Mona Adilman Pr
 ize in poetry. Currently Poetry Editor at Montreal Writes\, he lives in Va
 ncouver.\n
