You are invited to celebrate the launch of Drew Walker’s artful and breath-taking poetry collection, taking place during her 30th birthday week! 

Closer to Closure is Drew Walker’s second poetry book, following Confines of a Free Spirit (2020). This collection reflects on the everyday joys and sorrows that shape us, exploring love, loss, relationships, and awe-filled moments with honesty and lyrical contemplations.

More than a book of poetry, Closer to Closure is a work of art. Each poem was originally typed on handmade, recycled paper—botanically embedded and naturally dyed—then faithfully reproduced, giving every page a tactile sense of honesty and care. From cover to cover, the collection radiates intimacy, creativity, and the universal desire to live fully and authentically.

What does it take to conserve a sculpture that has stood in Calgary for more than fifty years? Join us for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how Katie Ohe’s beloved sculpture Day and Night was carefully restored and relocated from its original home in Prince’s Island Park to Devonian Gardens.

The evening begins with a short film created by Alexander Boyd, a member of the restoration team, and offers an insider’s view of the conservation process. It's an uncommon glimpse into the craft, care, and collaboration that goes into preserving public art.

Following the screening, take part in a Q&A with Sophia Zweifel, The City’s Public Art Conservator, and Alexander Boyd, who will share insights, stories, and reflections from the restoration.

To close the evening, enjoy a guided tour of the exhibition Fragment to Form | Katie Ohe and the Shape of Persistence, featuring additional works by the artist and a chance to experience Day and Night in its new home.

Please join us for the Edmonton launch of Kim Mannix’s debut poetry collection, Confirm Humanity, with special guest Laurie Lynn Muirhead and her collection, Coyote Snow. These prairie writers find their poems unified within themes of nature, womanhood, and connection in an isolating world—both using striking language and lyricism to make you feel every lingering emotion with them. At this event you can purchase copies of their books, have them signed, and hear their poetry read aloud. Stay for a while and speak with the poets about their local roots and what inspired them to put pen to paper. 

When: Sunday, November 16th, 2025 from 2 to 3:30 pm
Where: Audreys Books
