Guelph-based publisher Gordon Hill Press holds its Spring 2024 launch party at the artBar in Guelph on Friday May 10, 7:00 PM EST.
The event will feature readings from "Crazy / Mad" by AJ Dolman, "Disorder" by Concetta Principe, and "Blasphemy and Other Ancestors" by Jean Marc Ah-Sen, Lee Henderson, Darius James, and Padgett Powell.
The event is free, and everyone is welcome.
Disorder by Concetta Principe is poetry that explores the metaphorical relationship between the home and the mind, where a home should be place of sanctuary but can have its safe borders destabilized by mental illness – https://www.gordonhillpress.com/collections/titles/products/disorder.
Crazy / Mad by AJ Dolman is a collection of poems that whimper, rail and spin against continued psychological, personal and political oppressions at the human and institutional levels, including heteronormativity, monosexism and ableism – https://www.gordonhillpress.com/collections/titles/products/crazy-mad.
Blasphemy and Other Ancestors by Padgett Powell, Darius James, Lee Henderson, and Jean Marc Ah-Sen is comprised of four novellas that explore the tag end of existence and the abasements that memory holds for characters living outside of their time – https://www.gordonhillpress.com/collections/titles/products/blasphemy-and-other-ancestors.
