Poetry brings us swiftly to the blade’s edge.

Author Reading: "New Animal" by Eleanor Keisman
On September 24th, we’re celebrating the release of New Animal by the amazing Eleanor Keisman 🎉

RSVP via Eventbrite please :)
The blurb:
The story follows the experiences of a wolf, a wolfdog, and a man, navigating survival in a near-future, climate ravaged Yukon. Although climate change is the vehicle for the story, there is a strong focus on the sense of identity lost uniquely by each character: The wolf from his pack and the natural order as he knew it; the wolfdog from his origin species; and the man from modern economic and societal values. They come together in an unexpected circumstance, and seek to recreate their own irretrievably lost connections.
