DETAILS AND REGISTRATION:
Join poets Julie Paul (Whiny Baby) and Miranda Pearson (Bridestones) for a reading from their new poetry collections at Munro's Books.

Julie Paul is the author of three short fiction collections and the poetry collection The Rules of the Kingdom. She lives in Victoria, BC.
Miranda Pearson has taught at the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University. Bridestones is her sixth book of poetry. Her previous collections include Rail and The Fire Extinguisher. She lives between England and Canada.
ABOUT THE BOOKS
The early elegiac poems in Bridestones emerge from the borderlands between life and death, loss and renewal. Drawing on dreams, opera and visual art, and employing symbolist and playfully surreal imagery, Miranda Pearson questions the ways we tend and grieve – for each other and our environment.
Expansive in form and voice, the poems in Julie Paul’s second collection offer both love letters and laments. They take us to construction sites, meadows, waiting rooms, beaches, alleys, gardens, and frozen rivers. They ask us to live in the moment, despite the moment. At turns frank, peevish, introspective, and mischievous, Whiny Baby calls on us to examine, and exult in our brief time on earth.
