What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?
With her new collection of poetry, Jónína Kirton adds her voice to the call for the kind of fierce honesty referred to by Muriel Rukeyser when she asked, What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open. Kirton tells her truth with gentleness and patience, splitting the world open one line at a time.
page as bone ~ ink as blood will launch tomorrow evening, Wednesday, May 6, at Banyen Books & Sound in Vancouver, BC. A new collection of poetry by Kirton, it is her first book with Talonbooks. Join Jónína Kirton for a reading, Q&A, and signing at 6:30 p.m. See the Banyen Books event listing for more information.
