Blood Belies: A conversation with Ellen Chang-Richardson

About Blood Belies: "In this arresting debut collection Ellen Chang-Richardson writes of race, of injury and of belonging in stunning poems that fade in and out of the page. History swirls through this collection like a summer storm, as they bring their father’s, and their own, stories to light, writing against the background of the institutional racism of Canada, the Chinese Exclusion Act, the head tax and more. From Taiwan in the early 1990s to Oakville in the late 1990s, Toronto in the 2010s, Cambodia in the mid-1970s and Ottawa in the 2020s, Blood Belies takes the reader through time, asking them what it means to look the way we do? To carry scars? To persevere? To hope?" Join Ellen for a workshop with Flo Lit Mag next Thursday May 16: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/poetry-workshop-with-ellen-chang-richardson-tickets-890581843267 Ellen will also be reading at Perfect Books on May 19, as a local guest reader alongside Ben Ladouceur when Patrick Grace launches his new volume of poetry entitled Deviant.
