Please join us for a special reading by wonderful Canadian writer and essayist Gail Scott. She will read excerpts from Furniture Music*, her Lower Manhattan memoir of everyday life and politics of poets in the euphoric early days of the Obama moment. For a French touch, on lira une traduction par sabrina soyer du texte The Obituary**, a piece of writing that's about layers of colonization and cultural suppression in the city of Montreal.
