POETRY MONTH - U of T HEALTH HUMANITIES | How Poems Move in the Hospital
Tuesday, April 20th, 20217:00 PM-8:00 PM EDT
Dominik Parisien (Side Effects May Include Strangers) will join fellow poets Adam Sol and Moira MacDougall for University of Toronto Health Humanities Poetry Month virtual event, How Poems Move in the Hospital.
ABOUT THE COLLECTION
A powerful contribution to the field of disability poetics, Side Effects May Include Strangers is an affecting look at the multitude of ways a body is both boundary and boundless. Parisien takes bpNichol's claim that "what is a poem is inside of your body" and localizes the inner and outer lives of disabled, queer, and aging bodies as points of meaning for issues of autonomy, disability, sexuality, and language.
Balancing hope and uncertainty, anger and gratitude, these poems shift from medical practice to myth, from trauma to intergenerational friendship, in an unflinching exploration of the beauty and complexity of othered bodies.
