We are excited to host the Lunenburg double launch of local author Janet Barkhouse's book of poetry Salt Fires (Pottersfield Press), and Ottawa author Frances Boyle's novella Tower (Fish Gotta Swim Editions) on Friday, October 26th at 7 p.m.

Salt Fires is a volume of poems that embrace and reflect our human consciousness: our awareness, our blindness, our Shadow, our mythologies. They invite us to look at ourselves in ways that often are disconcerting, sometimes startling. Love of land infuses Salt Fires. Intimately inhabited and passionately shared, Nova Scotia's farms, woods, and shores reveal themselves to be our Earth in microcosm. 

Tower is a modern fable, an intricate tapestry of longing and danger, its pattern shifting over time and place, the tendrils ready to wrap us into its story.

 

You are cordially invited to the first performance of the 2018/2019 series of Lexicon Salons, a collaboration between Lexicon Books and suddenlyLISTEN Music, where Nova Scotian poets and musicians improvise together. On Saturday, November 10th, at 7 p.m., Lexicon Books co-owner and poet Alice Burdick launches her selected works DEPORTMENT, out through Wilfrid Laurier University Press. Norman Adams, of suddenlyLISTEN, will collaborate with a performance on cello!
