Mari-Lou Rowley has a thing for binary pulsars and other stars, so she moved to Saskatoon, “to be closer to the sky,” in her words. The avid astronomer reads from her seventh book of poetry, Suicide Poems, alongside Northern Irish expat Laurence Hutchman (Reading the Water) and Art Bar discovery Andréa Jarmai (Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls), Nov. 11. Also featured: Winnipeg luthier and world traveller John Weier (Under the Wings of Africa), CBC lit award finalist Claire Sharpe (Casual Notation of Earth-Shattering Events) and Kingston’s Elizabeth Greene (The Iron Shoes), Nov. 4; Toronto’s David Livingstone Clink (Eating Fruit Out of Season) and Margaret Christakos (Excessive Love Prostheses, What Stirs), and Winnipeg’s Maurice Mierau (Fear Not), Nov. 18; former university teacher George Amabile (Tasting the Dark), Concordia creative writing grad Mike Spry (Jack) and multi-talented musician and journalist Robert Priest (Reading the Bible Backwards), Nov. 25.—Brent Ledger
