“Princess Nut” CD launch celebration!

. . . and AURAL Heather’s Vancouver debut

Media Club, 695 Cambie Street, Vancouver

Thursday, May 29

8 PM

Please join us for an evening of stellar music and spoken word with special guests Kate Newman, Susan Cormier, Beth Southwell and her band, Tony Bardach, Kedrick James and emcee Kyle Hawke.

AURAL Heather is Heather Haley, Roderick Shoolbraid and ³a unique, sublime fusion of song and spoken word.² Shoolbraid is a dazzling guitarist, composer, sound designer and DJ. Old school and proud of it, Haley is a maverick poet, singer, author and media artist often found pushing boundaries and always on the vanguard. ³A Canadian national treasure,² Haley started writing verse in high school influenced by poets like bp Nichol, ee cummings and Susan Musgrave.

Her life as a bona fide artist began on the stage of the infamous Smilin¹ Buddha fronting the all-girl punk band the Zellots. She was a member of the 45s with Randy Rampage and Brad Kent of DOA and the Avengers. Later she formed HHZ‹Heather Haley & the Zellots‹praised by LA Weekly music critic Craig Lee as one of the city’s ³Ten Great Bands.”

Haley is a gutsy and compelling performer who enjoyed a stint as an official BC Transit busker and has appeared at the Burning Word Festival, the Vancouver International Writers Festival, Crush Champagne Lounge, the Lamplighter Pub, Rime, Thundering Word Heard, the Art Bar in Toronto, Words & Music in Montreal, the Bowery Poetry Club in New York City, Red Sky Poetry Theatre in Seattle, Shakespeare & Sons in Prague, the Roar Lit Crawl with Edmonton¹s Raving Poets band and on CBC and Book Television.

In 2004, she teamed up with Shoolbraid to produce a series of live shows and their first cd, “Surfing Season.” As Haley returns to her roots, their sound has evolved into the spoken word songs of AURAL Heather. There is nothing precious or flowery about the poetry on ³Princess Nut.² It rocks, in more ways than one!

Tix ten $ available at Zulu Records and the door

Praise for Surfing Season: ³Beautiful. A credit to the genre.²-Ian Ferrier, Wired on Words ³Great job! An auspicious disc. One of the best albums of its kind.² ­Kurt Heintz, e-poets ³Important work.²­Poseybeat

D. Hooijer is the second woman to win the award for her short story collection.

7 May 2008

THE NETHERLANDS - The 2008 Libris Literature Prize has been awarded to the writer D. Hooijer for her short story collection The Daily Grind is a Predator. This is the first time the prize, worth EUR 50,000, has been awarded for a short story collection, and only the second time it has been won by a woman - in 1994 it was won by Frida Vogels.

Up until now, D. Hooijer has been a relatively unknown writer.

She debuted in 2001 with another collection of short stories Jar and Blade. Her new collection was chosen from a shortlist of six taken from a long list of 171 works of “original Dutch prose” published in 2007.

On hearing she had won, she was taken aback. “I thought it was wonderful just to be nominated,” she said on receiving the award. “To be among the final six was unbelievable.”

D. Hooijer is a pseudonym for writer Kitty Ruys. Her distinctive writing style is characterised by short, disjointed sentences, and a disregard for literary convention.

The jury commented that, “In her stories she has managed to strike a delicate balance between story and narrative style, between content and form. Hooijer succeeds in making her stories surprising, moving and humorous.”

Although she won the prize as an outsider and this is only her third publication as a prose writer, she has written poetry all her life.

Her poetry is published under the name Milly Wiers. “I was always rather a rejected poet,” she commented in a television interview. “It’s very hard to get poetry published, but I didn’t want to stop. I think poetry is wonderful. But after about 30 years, I eventually gave up. One rainy Sunday in summer, I started writing short stories. And it was tough. Stories are difficult too.”

Clan of the Dung Sniffers Available April 15

Calgary, AB – April 15, 2008 - Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy announces Clan of the Dung Sniffers, by Lee Danielle Hubbard released to major retail bookstores such as Chapters, Barnes & Noble.com, Amazon.com, and directly from the publisher: www.edgewebsite.com.

“My life is a grand, multicoloured web of events and interests. The upcoming publication of my first novel constitutes the brightest strands of the web.” Taking her art and history studies at the University of Victoria with fervour, author Lee Danielle rises with the sun every day, takes an hour-long run or swim and gets right down to writing while most people are just getting their morning coffee.

Hubbard hasn’t taken her literature exploits with any less passion, with poetry appearing in many literary magazines, including Event and the Claremont Review.

From the back of the book:

“Wounds of the body heal swiftly in comparison to those of the mind.”

In a beehive of rebellion and misinterpretation eight young men are thrown together by an unlikely accident.

To survive, they move quickly to form a secret brotherhood, dubbed by one of the more cynical members as the Clan of the Dung-Sniffers.

Their sole mission: repair and return the damaged Radiance to its former glory.

But before they can do this they must survive unexpected challenges, brutal lies and the self-doubts that call into question everything they’ve come to know and expect from their society.

If they do not move quickly, their own beehive of prejudice and fear will devour them all.

May 2, at 7:30pm, Black Stilt Coffee House, Victoria, BC

Dear LPG Canada group members:

The Literary Press Group of Canada announces its national reading campaign, FIERY FIRST FICTION, in the month of May 2008.

Fiery First Fiction features 14 of the season’s hot new first-fiction titles from literary presses across Canada. The idea came about from the desire to support independent publishers who often take great risks by believing in and signing on new literary voices in a small industry burgeoning with bestselling books from south of the border.

The selected short story and long fiction titles feature a roster of new talent from various backgrounds, including magazine editors Nathan Whitlock, Arjun Basu, and Naomi K. Lewis; playwright Claudia Dey; university professors and poets Richard Lemm and Lesley Belleau; creative writing program graduates Shari Lapeña and Nila Gupta; screenwriter Jason Brink; and illustrator Jim Westergard.

IT’S A WIN-WIN SITUATION!
Look for readings in your cities: Montreal, Toronto, Edmonton, North Bay, and Vancouver. Walk into any participating independent bookstore (see our web site for locations), buy a Fiery First Fiction book, and get a beautiful limited edition FFF canvas bag FREE. Best of all, participate in the Open Book Toronto month-long May contest, and win a set of FFF books + bag each week!

List of Mass Graves at Residential Schools to be Issued this Thursday, April 10

Monday, April 7, 2008 – 12:30 pm, PST

Vancouver:

A comprehensive list of mass graves of children at dozens of former Indian Residential Schools across Canada will be released to the media and the public this Thursday, April 10 at 12 noon at a special ceremony at the Indian Affairs office at 1138 Melville street in downtown Vancouver.

At the same event, an independent, non-governmental inquiry into crimes in Indian residential schools will be formally launched by aboriginal elders, including Squamish Hereditary Chief Kiapilano and Chief Red Jacket.

The event is sponsored by The Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared (FRD).

PS. By Tony

Very proud of this man Kevin Annett.. in the darkest hours when the Church and State came after him and used all methods to silence him and when almost everybody turned his back on him… he stood his ground.
I can hear him whispering back then “If I perish I perish”. Now it’s easy for him and I know why… once you lose everything and you have nothing more to lose, fear loses its power over you… you know from there on that even if you perish you have won.

I remember once that the “men in black” asked me to withdraw my documentary. I replied “now you must kill me because there is no other way to stop me”. From there on it was easy, very easy… they can kill children and they can kill the messengers BUT THEY CANNOT KILL THE TRUTH!

Chomsky said he deserves a Nobel Prize… I believe to call him Eagle Strong Voice is the greatest reward he can ever receive as he became rightfully a father not only to the Native People but also to all of us that seek righteousness in all the battlefields in the world that truth is trembled upon.

With these few words I express my deep and unconditional support and friendship to my brother Eagle Strong Voice and promise to support with all my heart all his efforts to bring about awareness concerning the Residential Schools and the over 50.000 Native children that died there. We must never forget that it was from the shores of Europe that the settlers first arrived in the Americas, and when we say White Americans we mean our European ancestors. I hope Europe will soon lift her eyes towards the truth she is neglecting.

Yours
Svnoyi Wohali (Night Eagle)

Good Day:

I’m producing a series of documentaries for CBC Radio. One of our
programs is about Bruce Cockburn and I would like to get in touch with
one of his early mentors, poet, William Hawkins of Ottawa. Do you have
any contact information or know how I can get in touch with him? We’re
interested in an interview in the near future.

Thanks for your time.
