Join us for the launch of Jennifer Bowering-Delisle's new book of poetry, 'Stock'.
From found poems using metadata and keywords to riffs on stock image database search results with titles like ‘Good Mother Morning Family Happy,’ ‘Beautiful Woman Eating Salad,’ and ‘Lady Boss Smiles with Arms Folded,’ Delisle’s ekphrastic poems take a playful look at stock photography’s clichés and delight in all its strangeness, while casting a critical eye on its representations of women.
Jennifer Bowering Delisle's collection of lyric essays, 'Micrographia' (2023), won the Robert Kroetsch City of Edmonton Book Prize and the Writers Guild of Alberta Memoir Award. She is also the author of 'Deriving', a collection of poetry (2021), and 'The Bosun Chair', a lyric family memoir (2017). She is on the board of NeWest Press and lives in Edmontonon Treaty 6 territory.
