For All Time: The Shakespeare FIRST FOLIO at the Vancouver Art Gallery celebrates the University of British Columbia Library’s recent acquisition of a complete first edition of William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories and Tragedies—an extremely rare book published in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death and credited with preserving almost half of his plays.
How to Not Be Afraid of Everything (out this October from Alice James Books) is a book of poems that explores the vulnerable and tangled ways in which we articulate and reckon with fear: fear of intergenerational trauma, of toxic masculinity, of silenced and hidden histories. At its core, the book is dedicated to Wong's grandparents who survived the Great Leap Forward. The book sings of rage, resilience, and community. Jane Wong and Leanne Dunic, poets/artists/friends, will read together!
