Wednesday 11 am 2023, via zoom, private event. But shared here because once upon a time, I was a pariah for being ill, & now I’m doing rounds because of the dailiness of illness and non-neurotypicality. Title of talk: “Solidarity at the Cultural Front: On Disability Work in Medicine.” Will conclude by reading from Saving and The Suspect We.
Thursday May 11 7 pm 315 Roncesvalles Ave, Toronto ON

Image of book The Suspect We with text describing contents as follows: In The Suspect We, Roxanna Bennett and Shane Neilson collaborate to make a documentary poetics concerning pandemic conditions for the mad, neurodivergent, and disabled. Written while the world huddled indoors, The Suspect We is the product of a poetic friendship as well as a reaction to it.
Throughout, Bennett and Neilson query CanLit politics and care deficiencies as mutually dependent while also taking care of one another through their own work and its address.
