Printed Matter Vancouver publishers Toni Partington and Christopher Luna would like to give our thanks to the community for coming out to support last month’s reading to celebrate the release of Jenney Pauer’s Serenity in the Brutal Garden. The book launch was a big success. Unsurprisingly, Ms. Pauer delivered a stirring performance of her candid and emotionally powerful work. We were also honored to have Anni Becker, who took the photograph that appears on the cover of the book, as well as her subject, the lovely Kayli Becker, in attendance.
Jenney will be giving a series of readings to support the book, including a benefit for local community activist Ryan Woods on May 18 (https://printedmattervancouver.com/2012/05/03/ryan-woods-benefit-may-18-at-river-maiden-artisan-coffee-in-vancouver-with-poet-jenney-pauer-musician-sarah-arslanian-and-a-silent-art-auction-featuring-the-art-of-kelly-keigwin-and-sam-mackenzie/). I very much admire Jenney for organizing this event to help Ryan and his family. I’m extremely proud of the way that Vancouver has proven its willingness to come together to help others in need.
