Join authors Chris Hutchinson and Darren Bifford for a book launch and readings featuring their new poetry collections, A Brief History of the Short-Lived and Wedding in Fire Country (Nightwood Editions), at Type Books in Toronto—883 Queen Street West—on Saturday, April 28th at 5:00 pm.

In his third poetry collection, A Brief History of the Short-Lived, Chris Hutchinson brings the full force of his linguistic dexterity to bear on the elusive subject of literature itself. In Wedding in Fire Country, Bifford is exceptionally adept at capturing the beauty of the mundane, and his poetry offers an insightful meditation on the meaning of the individual journey within larger political and geographical spheres.
