SUMMARY:A cross-Country book tour & workshop event
DESCRIPTION:You’re Invited: Book Launch Reading\, Workshop & Interactive Art Experience! \nJoin us at the gallery for a special evening on the cross-country book tour launch of two remarkable Canadian authors\, Kevin Andrew Heslop and Joanna Cockerline! \nThe event begins with an immersive creative workshop led by both authors — an inspiring opportunity for writers\, artists\, and curious minds alike. Following the workshop\, enjoy a live reading and discussion as Kevin and Joanna share from their newly published works. \n \nJoin us for an inspiring evening that blends storytelling\, creative exploration\, and tactile art. \nThe event will open with a reading featuring two writers sharing both fiction and non-fiction work (approximately 20 minutes each)\, followed by a Q&A and open discussion with the audience. \nAfter the reading\, participants are invited to take part in a writing workshop that will offer insights into both fiction and non-fiction writing. Attendees are encouraged to bring a notebook or laptop\, as well as up to two pages of writing they would like to share and workshop in a supportive setting. \nComplementing the literary experience is a collection of interactive art sculptures by Leslie Putnam. These tactile works—displayed on our book table—reflect themes of transformation and healing found in the readings. Attendees are welcome to touch\, hold\, and engage with the art throughout the evening. \nWhether you’re a writer\, a reader\, or simply curious\, this event offers a unique opportunity to connect through words and art. \nKevin Andrew Heslop presents The Writing on the Wind’s Wall\, a compelling and tender inquiry into the experiences of those affected by Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in his hometown of London\, Ontario. The book is shaped by family connections and a decade of deep conversations with writers and artists around the world. \nJoanna Cockerline introduces Still\, a gripping novel set on the streets of Kelowna\, BC. It follows Kayla\, who lives and works on the street\, and Little Zoe\, a sex trade worker who is missing. The story paints an intimate portrait of survival\, community\, and the search for home within oneself. \nFree admission — no registration required.\nElora Centre for the Arts Gallery \nRead more about the authors and their work below. Come be inspired!
