Join us as we celebrate the launch of Di Brandt's new poetry collection The Sweetest Dance on Earth: New and Selected Poems (Turnstone Press). This event features a reading and a discussion of the book with Sarah Ens, followed by a book signing.
Since her internationally renowned debut collection questions i asked my mother, Di Brandt has remained curious, asking questions and pushing poetic bounds. Now for the first time, the diverse poetics of this celebrated prairie writer are showcased in one volume. From trailblazing intercultural and intergenerational engagements to revisionary explorations of gender, place and environmental consciousness, readers will get a chance to experience the breathtaking work of one of Canada’s most influential poets.
Di Brandt has published more than a dozen books of poetry, fiction, creative essays and literary criticism, and has received numerous prestigious awards in several genres. She has held prestigious appointments at several Canadian universities, and has given literary readings and lectures at festivals, conferences and other venues around the world. She was honoured to serve as Winnipeg’s inaugural poet laureate for 2018-2019.
