# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Author Event with Keiko Honda & Arleen Paré
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 29 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 29 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us as we welcome back authors Keiko Honda and Arleen Paré for an evening of poetry and memoir! Listen in on a delightful, warming conversation between the authors and get your books signed in person.

In her third memoir, "Words That Last", Honda writes from a particular threshold: her daughter's room stands empty, her father's voice thins across long-distance calls, her mother speaks to her six times daily though she's been dead for six years. Living alone in Vancouver with her cat Pumpkin, Honda finds herself between languages, between countries, between the body she had and the body she inhabits now.

"Words That Last" is due to be released on September 18th, so preorder your copy today!

Paré is a writer with ten collections of poetry, based here in Victoria. She has been short-listed for the BC Dorothy Livesay Award for Poetry and has won the American Golden Crown Award for Poetry, the Victoria Butler Book Prize, a CBC Bookie Award, and a Governor Generals’ Award for Poetry. Her latest poetry collection, "Encrypted", was released in the spring of 2025.
