About this event
February's online Lunch Poems reading features poets Farzana Doctor & Lillian Nećakov.
Farzana Doctor is a Tkaronto-based author, activist and registered social worker psychotherapist. She has published four critically acclaimed novels, including Seven, which Ms. Magazine described as “fully feminist and ambitiously bold”, and was shortlisted for the Trillium and Evergreen Awards. Her new poetry collection, You Still Look The Same, which Quill & Quire has called “a powerful and necessary collection that breaks silences”, was released in May 2022.
Lillian Nećakov is the author of many chapbooks, including The Lake Contains an Emergency Room (Apt. 9 Press) which was shortlisted for the bpNichol Chapbook Award, as well as the full-length collections il virus (Anvil Press), shortlisted for the Pat Lowther Memorial Award, Hooligans (Mansfield Press), The Bone Broker (Mansfield Press), Hat Trick (Exile Editions), Polaroids (Coach House Books), and The Sickbed of Dogs (Wolsak and Wynn). Her new book, duck eats yeast, quacks, explodes; man loses eye, a collaborative poem with Gary Barwin, is forthcoming in 2023 from Guernica Editions. She lives in Toronto.
