Two hot authors with hot new books performing in one hot space! Join Daniel Allen Cox (SHUCK), Jennica Harper (WHAT IT FEELS LIKE FOR A GIRL), Allison Mack (Chloe on “Smallville“), and Billeh Nickerson for a celebration of sexy new lit.
Anyone who remembers, I worked with Jennica on Abigail’s War, her comic book apart of Comic Creation Nation with Zeros 2 Heroes. Tonight is the wonderful launch party at Lick in downtown Vancouver. Go and check this out! Here is more info:
JENNICA HARPER will be launching her new book of poetry, WHAT IT FEELS LIKE FOR A GIRL (Anvil Press, 2008). The book is a series of poems following the intense friendship between two teenagers as they idolize Madonna and explore the strange, titillating world of pornography. They soon learn just how complicated sexuality is—and how confusing desire can be.
Allison Mack of Smallville will be joining Jennica on stage for a performed reading.
Praise for What It Feels Like for a Girl:
“Smart, brave, hard-edged, and a little frightening… Jennica Harper offers a compassionate glimpse into the turbulent lives of teenaged girls. May this book find its way to school libraries. May it find itself in the hands of every young person who ever wondered What It Feels Like for a Girl.â€
–Elizabeth Bachinsky, Governor General’s Award Nominee for Home of Sudden Service
