Book Release and Panel Discussion

the un-surmounted 1500 feet

between the scuttled Komagata Maru

and One-Couver’s brazen shoreline

have yet to be breached

Join us on Saturday, 15 October at 2:30 pm at Surrey City Centre Library to celebrate the release of Exit Wounds, Tariq Malik’s collection of poems. The afternoon gathering will begin with a Land Acknowledgement followed by introductions. Then, Tariq Malik will read from Exit Wounds; his readings will be interspersed by discussion of selected poems by Ajmer Rode, Surjeet Kalsey, and Sadhu Binning. Themes such as displacement, racism, and belonging in Malik’s poetry will lead us to Ian Rocksborough-Smith joining the discussion to highlight the recent floods in Pakistan and the compelling need for climate justice.
