A self-described storyteller, disrupter, activist, and truth seeker comes to the Nelson Public Library on Wednesday, October 25, 7pm. fanny kearse reads from her newly published book Umi’s Prayer: Poetry and Prose from a Year of Living and Loving Queer in an evening that promises to be a reflection on all the forms of love,
kearse says that Umi’s Prayer is “a love letter to the land and to its people. It is a love letter to self, to those who are pondering ‘queerosities,’ to those who wake to the buildings of their dreams. It is both the journey and destination to how whole-hearted authentic living cultivates community and champions creativity.” The book includes imagery and words that are inspired heavily by Sinixt Territory area.
