Katerina Canyon, an Award-Winning Poet & Best Selling Author, will be at Oh Hello Again bookstore for a poetry reading and book signing.
SEATTLE - Washingtoner -- Katerina Canyon, an Award-Winning Poet, Best Selling Author, civil rights activist, and essayist, will be at Seattle's newest bookstore Oh Hello Again on November 20th at 7:30PM for a poetry reading and book signing. The event is free and open to the public. Katerina will be discussing her latest poetry collection Surviving Home (published by Kelsay Books, November 9, 2021). Surviving Home is a reflection on African American heritage and up-bringing, racism, and abuse.
Concisely arresting and challenging the beliefs of family and the fantasies of tradition, the poems in Surviving Home show that home is a place that you endure rather than a place where you are nurtured. With unyielding cadence and unparalleled sadness and warmth, Katerina Canyon contemplates the prejudice and limitations buried in a person's African American heritage: parents that seem to care for you with one hand and slap you with the other, the secret desires to be released from the daily burdens of life, as well as the surprising ways a child chooses to amuse herself. Finding resilience in the unexpected, this collection tears down the delicate facades of family.
