Book Release Celebration with Christina Cook, ROAMING THE LABYRINTH WITH MARIE-CLAIRE BANCQUART

We're celebrating the release of Christina Cook's new book, Roaming the Labyrinth with Marie-Claire Bancquart. Our event will begin at 6 pm with an interview of the author and short reading followed by an audience Q & A. Casual visiting and book signing will follow the formal presentation. Light refreshments provided by Webster's Bookstore Cafe.

This new book tells a story of two women poets who hail from different generations, nations, and languages: yet both tap into a distinctly feminine discourse to retell received mythologies and refabricate stale archetypes that continue to distort the Western literary tradition. Christina Cook weaves her original poetry; her translations of poetry and song lyrics by contemporary French writer Marie-Claire Bancquart; and 15th century French Tarot all into a speculative non-fiction narrative. The result relates an afternoon tour of Paris that spans millennia; an excursion that blurs mythic time and clock time into a lived experience that defies categorization.
