SUMMARY:Fog Lit Festival: Poetry Event with Triny Finlay
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with The Lorenzo Society\, join poet Douglas Walbourne-Gough at the Saint John Arts Centre on Friday\, September 27 at 7pm for a reading featuring work from his books “Crow Gulch” (Goose Lane\, 2019) and the upcoming “Island” (Goose Lane\, 2024).\nDouglas will be in-conversation with Rachel Bryant.\n—\nBOOK DESCRIPTION: “Canada rejected our applications for enrolment in the Qalipu First Nation. Initially\, I was relieved by the rejection. I’d watched my hometown divide itself — are you Mi′kmaq or settler? Mi′kmaq or not Mi′kmaq enough?”\nCentred around the Newfoundland Mi’kmaq experience in the wake of the controversial Qalipu First Nation enrolment process\, Island wades through the fracture and mistrust that continues to linger in many communities. In this new collection\, Douglas\nWalbourne-Gough expands upon issues of identity and history that he introduced in Crow Gulch\, offering a deeply personal and equally beautiful exploration of Mi’kmaw and Newfoundland identity.\nWalbourne-Gough’s narrative poems trace the formation of identity\, not through status documentation\, but through its deeper roots in childhood memories\, family\, spirituality\, and dreams. Throughout this collection\, he approaches life in fragments — snuggling into his nan’s sealskin snowsuit\, learning Mi’kmaq from an app\, or the myriad of complex emotions that come with receiving a status card — and watches them transform into pieces of an everlasting puzzle. Island reckons with an often-ignored\, yet persistent\, effect of colonialism — fractured identities.\n—\nDouglas Walbourne-Gough is a poet and mixed/adopted status member of the Qalipu Mi’kmaq First Nation from Elmastukwek (the Bay of Islands)\, Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland). His poetry has appeared in numerous publications\, including Best Canadian Poetry in English\, Grain\, and the Fiddlehead\, and has won the Riddle Fence Poetry Prize.\nWalbourne-Gough’s debut collection\, Crow Gulch\, won the E.J. Pratt Poetry Award. It was also a finalist for NL Reads\, the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry\, and the Raymond Souster Award\, and was longlisted for the First Nations Community READS Award. Island is his second book of poetry.\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/436928156061490

SUMMARY:Fog Lit Festival: Kids' Craft Workshop with Riel Nason
DESCRIPTION:Calling all young Fog Lit fans! Local author Riel Nason will be at the Main Branch of the Saint John Free Public Library on Saturday\, September 28 at 11am for a Kids’ Craft Workshop and reading from her book The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt.\n—\nBOOK DESCRIPTION: When you’re a quilt instead of a sheet\, being a ghost is hard! An adorable picture book for fans of Stumpkin and How to Make Friends with a Ghost.\nGhosts are supposed to be sheets\, light as air and able to whirl and twirl and float and soar. But the little ghost who is a quilt can’t whirl or twirl at all\, and when he flies\, he gets very hot.\nHe doesn’t know why he’s a quilt. His parents are both sheets\, and so are all of his friends. (His great-grandmother was a lace curtain\, but that doesn’t really help cheer him up.) He feels sad and left out when his friends are zooming around and he can’t keep up.\nBut one Halloween\, everything changes. The little ghost who was a quilt has an experience that no other ghost could have\, an experience that only happens because he’s a quilt . . . and he realizes that it’s OK to be different.\n—\nRiel Nason is a Canadian novelist and textile artist. Her acclaimed debut novel The Town That Drowned won the Commonwealth Book Prize for Canada and Europe\, and the Margaret and John Savage First Book Award. Riel’s original quilts have been exhibited across Canada; she is best known for her whimsical selvage quilts and bold use of color\, and she has published two books on the subject: Modern Selvage Quilting and Sew a Modern Halloween. Riel grew up in Hawkshaw\, New Brunswick\, and now lives in Quispamsis\, NB\, with her husband\, son\, daughter and cats.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/793130176230084/

SUMMARY:Fog Lit Festival: Fiction Launch with Michelle Winters
DESCRIPTION:Join author Michelle Winters at Imperial Theatre on Saturday\, September 28 at 7pm for our Fiction Launch. Author of the acclaimed debut novel I Am a Truck (Invisible Publishing\, 2016)\, Michelle will bring her funny and furious new novel Hair for Men (House of Anansi\, 2024) to Fog Lit Festival.\nMichelle will be in-conversation with Julia Wright.\n—\nBOOK DESCRIPTION: The second novel by Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Michelle Winters teems with hot towel shaves and the steady thrum of female rage.\nSpurred by adolescent trauma\, Louise adopts a life of hardcore punk violence until she stumbles into a job at a mysterious men’s hair salon\, where her unique relationship with her clientele shows her a more perfect world—or so it seems. When that world is overturned\, she flees to a marina on the East Coast\, where she lives free from reminders of her past—except the duffle-bagged ones she jettisons nightly in a forsaken cove. But on the day of the Tragically Hip’s 2016 farewell performance in Kingston\, a man surfaces from the Bay of Fundy\, rousing long-dormant urges and giving Louise an unexpected gift: the chance to make things right.\nFunny\, warm\, and furious\, Hair for Men is a subversive exploration of gender\, forgiveness\, and chucking convention.\n—\nMichelle Winters is a writer\, painter\, and translator born and raised in Saint John\, NB. Her debut novel\, I Am a Truck\, was shortlisted for the 2017 Scotiabank Giller Prize. She is the translator of Kiss the Undertow and Daniil and Vanya by Marie-Hélène Larochelle. She lives in Toronto.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1045789873919708/

SUMMARY:Book Cover Dissection Workshop with Katherine Bogle
DESCRIPTION:Why do people buy books? Because of the cover.\nA good cover will catch the reader’s eye and tell them about the story before they flip it over to read the back cover.\nThis workshop is a great chance to learn what covers sell and why\, what works best for what genres\, and why/when should you do a new cover for a book?\nWe will be focusing on horror covers at this time\, but Katherine can answer questions about other genres as well.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/604943242613030/
