SUMMARY:Book Launch with Joanna Streetly
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book launch of “All of Us Hidden” by Joanna Streetly. \n“Six years ago\, Joanna’s Streetly’s two stepsons and their boat disappeared into the ocean on an eerily calm night\, barely 200 feet from Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island\, BC. All of Us Hidden begins with poems that inhabit Tla-o-qui-aht traditional territory\, the remote summer whaling islet where Streetly lived for several years with her former partner and stepsons. In the aftermath of the boys’ disappearance\, she returns to the island to document how both she and the island might have changed. Streetly’s poetry ripples out beyond location and loss\, into a broader investigation of time’s capricious shaping and re-shaping of children\, parents\, Earth and the self.” \nAbout the author: \nJoanna is the author of 4 books. Her latest\, “All of Us Hidden”\, (Caitlin Press)\, is a poetry collection on loss and wondering. Joanna’s memoir\, “Wild Fierce Life: Dangerous Moments on the Outer Coast”\, is a BC Bestseller. She has lived in the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht people since 1990 and was the 2018 – 2020 Tofino Poet Laureate.
