# Event Details

- **Event Name**: An Evening of Poetry in the Bookshop with Sue Sinclair
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-03:00)
- **Event Description**: Bookmark, Charlottetown’s independent bookstore, will be hosting acclaimed Atlantic Canadian poet Sue Sinclair in the bookshop on Thursday, May 28th at 7 pm. In addition to reading from her new collection New-Fangled Rose, Sue will be in conversation with Island Poet Jane Ledwell.  This is a free event and all are welcome.

Like a rose blooming out of season, the poems in Sue Sinclair’s newest collection are unexpected, unforgettably beautiful, and an unwavering gesture toward the slow emergency of climate crisis. With the lyrical brilliance and keen eye trained on beauty that’s characteristic of Sinclair, New-Fangled Rose reaches toward the light with reverent hands, photosynthesizing it into poems that are deft, musical, and unquestionably alive.

These poems cast a wide gaze over a fragile world, offering vibrant elegies to luna moths and crab apples, fireflies and trilliums. They examine what it is to build relationships in a world that feels increasingly precarious, like at any moment, something may end; like at any moment, something may begin.

Sue Sinclair grew up in Newfoundland on the ancestral homelands of the Beothuk. She is the author of six previous collections of poetry, including most recently Almost Beauty: New and Selected Poems, winner of New Brunswick’s Fiddlehead Poetry Book Prize. Heaven’s Thieves won the Pat Lowther Award for the best book of poetry by a Canadian woman. Sue is the editor of The Fiddlehead and the director of creative writing at the University of New Brunswick on Wəlastəkwey territory, land of the “beautiful and bountiful river.”
