Bywords 2011 John Newlove Poetry Award Reading with Winter Fedyk and Jesse Rose

From the department of curious Canadiana arrives a poem in conversation with the ecopoetic and disjunctive narrative fixations of writers countrywide. Drenched and stretched, aurality translates what is not quite read. The text itself finishes mid-thought, or does not finish, or does not. Any. Either. All.

Join us for the launch of Beneath Black Surface by Winter Fedyk, the 2010 recipient of the John Newlove Poetry Award. Featuring readings by this year’s honourable mentions and award recipient (to be announced at the reading), plus music by Jesse Rose!

The Authors

Jesse Rose

Home grown in Ontario, Jesse Rose has been a staple of the Ottawa live music scene for years. With influences such as Tom Waits and Nina Simone, Jesse skillfully weaves stories into songs that everyone can relate to. Her vocals can be described as low and husky with a soulful quality. Armed with her six sting acoustic baritone guitar, Jesse is known for giving the crowd everything she’s got.

Winter Fedyk

After living in Ottawa for many years, Winter Fedyk recently moved back to Regina, where she grew up. Beneath Black Surface is her first chapbook of poetry.
