Eli Clare in Toronto

We're thrilled to be sponsoring three events in Toronto featuring the poet, activist, educator Eli Clare.  The last one is much more than Eli, it's an afternoon of performance featuring some awesome Toronto performers.  Hope you can check one or more than one of these out.

************************
Reading At York University
Thursday, January 28th, 1pm – 4pm
Vanier College 010, Senior Common Room

Reading by Eli Clare from two of his books, Exile and Pride: Disability,
Queerness, and Liberation and The Marrow’s Telling: Words in Motion.

This poetry reading and meet and greet aims at discussing, celebrating,
complicating and engaging the intersections of transsexuality, desire and
ability. Clare’s reading provides a medium for those engaged in his work to
be empowered by their own strengths and bodies, abilities and desires.

socially accessible:
