McGilligan Books launches Emergency Contact
Poetry by Tara-Michelle Ziniuk
November 30th, Toronto Women's Bookstore, 7:00 pm with special guests
McGilligan Books is pleased to announce the release of Emergency
Contact, a sharply wrought collection of poetry by performer and
activist Tara-Michelle Ziniuk. With gritty potency, Ziniuk pens her
poetic landscape through emotionally volatile territories of the
heart. Reckoning with familial dysfunction, mental illness, poverty,
addiction, gender and sexual politics, Ziniuk carves space out of
unforgiving places. From truck stops to punk shows, hospital rooms to
jail cells, Ziniuk traverses loss and pain, desire and possibility.
What people are saying:
"This is the kind of poetry I am grateful for…My heart is pressed up
to the page reading
this." --Golda Fried, author of Nellcott is My Darling
"These are renegade missives punctuated with urgency and tension,
brokenness and letting go, magic in the shadows of the streetlights."
- Mattilda a.k.a. Matt Bernstein Sycamore, editor, Nobody Passes:
Rejecting the Rules of Gender and Conformity
