Jordan Abel, a Nisga’a poet and writer from Vancouver will read from Un/inhabited at Open Space on Tuesday, October 6 at 7:30 p.m. followed by an interview with Marita Dachsel. Abel will also read on Wednesday, October 7 at 1:30 p.m. at the University of Victoria. Both events are free and open to the public.
Un/inhabited maps the terrain of the public domain, searching ninety-one western novels for words that relate to the political and social aspects of land, territory, and ownership. Each query represents a study in context – How was this word deployed? What surrounded it? What is left over once that word is removed?
