REMINDERS, written by Jasper Pelle, published by Moniker Press, is a poem that resembles an artifact quietly dredged from a riverbed, the text and its content warped and worn by time. Still, a radiance remains within its weathered form: an ache lit in lonely hours, urges whispering in margins, walking from a pool to the river, transformation beckoned in a flood.
Join the author, along with Emily Lawson and Exiliahu in disharmonious chorus, as they perform REMINDERS in its entirety on July 4, 7:30pm at the Roundhouse Outdoor Plaza. Also featuring original work by Emily Laswon and music by Exiliahu. Part of Vancouver Art Book Fair opening night programming.

Jasper Pelle was born and raised in Seattle, Washington but found their creative footing in Missoula, Montana, primarily as a poet and performance artist. Their writing practice took shape in the DIY punk/art scene, growing out of noise and ephemera, engaging with language not as a tool to be manipulated for the sake of expression, but as an end in itself. Grounded in a palpable sincerity, their poetry is abstracted and embodied, tactile and immaterial; fields of image and sensation from which meaning and feeling are not strictly communicated but given the space to arise. Beyond their art practice they are a gardener, baker, and community organizer. They live in Vancouver with their partner and two black cats.
