TOK: Writing the New Toronto, Book 5
Diaspora Dialogues invites you to celebrate the launch of
TOK: Writing the New Toronto, Book 5
on Thursday May 20 from 7:30 pm
at the Bram and Bluma Appel Salon
Featuring readings and lively conversation with contributors Shyam Selvadurai, Emma Donoghue, Marjorie Chan, Mayank Bhatt, Marni Van Dyk, Michael Fraser and Chang Liu.
TOK, Book 5 features a dynamic mix of voices from across the city and across communities — stories and poems about journeys to fantastic places and deep into the heart and about the sometimes uneasy space one occupies between multiple identities. From a father’s rampant infidelity and violent episodes to an alternate Toronto where lizards thrive and it’s legal to keep chickens in your backyard, this anthology has it all.
The pieces in TOK, Book 5 are created through Diaspora Dialogues’ annual mentoring and commissioning program, which commissions established writers to create original Toronto-set work, while mentoring emerging writers.
