Blame it on the Moon Lisa Shatzky's newest book of poetry will be launched on Bowen, Sunday, December 8 at the Gallery @ Artisan Square. Published by Black Moss Press, the book is a collection of work that speaks to the experience of wanting and needing more fullness of live. The Bowen Island Arts Council will be hosting the launch, beginning at 7 p.m., as part of its Author Reading Series. Admission is by donation and everyone is welcome. Signed books will be available for purchase.
Nick Faragher, who has reviewed the new book, writes:
"No one can fail to be affected by the intensity and passion that haunts the pages of this latest collection of poems by Lisa Shatzky. The importance of discovering and honouring your true self is not a new theme, nor is it a new theme when placed in the context of intimate relationships as it is here. But then what themes on the human condition can be called new? In Lisa's sometimes soaring, sometimes subtle, and sometimes wry imagery you will, if you have lived and loved, and especially if you have loved and lost, see something of yourself or your other self, in every shadow and corner."
