SUMMARY:Readings/ Q&A - Gary Barwin and Steven Mayoff - In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Readings\, Conversation and a Q&A with authors Gary Barwin and Steve Mayoff. \n  \n \nImagining Imagining  \nAward-winning author Gary Barwin has written poems\, novels and books for children. He’s composed music\, created multimedia art and performed around the world. Now he has turned his talented pen to essays. In Imagining Imagining: Essays on Language\, Identity and Infinity Barwin thinks deeply about big ideas: story and identity; art and death; how we communicate and why we dream. From his childhood home in Ireland to his long-time home in Hamilton\, Barwin shares the thoughts that keep him up at night (literally) and the ideas that keep him creating. Filled with witty asides\, wise stories and a generosity of spirit that is unmistakable\, these are essays that readers will turn to again and again. \nThe Island Gospel According to Samson Grief \nSamson Grief\, a reclusive painter in PEI struggling with a creative block\, is confronted by three red-haired figments of his imagination in the form of Judas Iscariot\, Fagin and Shylock. They claim to be messengers of “The Supreme One”\, a genderless deity who has decreed PEI to be the new Promised Land and also wants Samson to build the Island’s first synagogue. Scared\, confused\, and seriously doubting his sanity\, Samson eventually\, though grudgingly\, accepts the challenge amidst increasingly bizarre obstacles.
