Bookmark, Charlottetown’s independent bookstore, will be hosting Island Poet Jennifer Platts-Fanning in the bookshop on Wednesday, June 10th at 7 pm. In celebration of the launch of Dandelion Rebellion, Jennifer and friends will be reading from her new collection. This is a free event, and all are welcome.Jan Conn, Canadian biologist, poet, and visual artist says that “Jennifer Platts-Fanning’s new book, Dandelion Rebellion, is a dramatic, stream-of-consciousness exploration of wildness in its many guises, by turn oracular, cathartic, ferocious, environmentally-savvy, dream-saturated, and humorous. Befitting an ecologically focused manifesto written on Mi’kma’ki (Prince Edward Island), the book is divided into nine waypoints, each simply and effectively illustrated by a different stage of a dandelion flower’s brief life, providing visual cues to a sense of urgency that permeates the writing.”
JENNIFER PLATTS-FANNING is an award-winning writer from Prince Edward Island, where the woodlands meet the wave-tousled coast. Winner of multiple PEI Writers' Guild Island Literary Awards, her poetry appears in The Dalhousie Review, White Wall Review, and other journals. Her restless, empathetic voice explores memory, nature, and belonging. A playwright and forest steward, she volunteers with PEI Ground Search and Rescue, living by the motto: "That Others May Live."
