Date: Friday, May 09, 2025Time: 2:00 pm Location: Biblioasis Bookshop Ticket Price: Free Summary: Join us in celebrating Farah Ghafoor's debut poetry collection, Shadow Price!Readings by Farah Ghafoor and Jade Wallace will begin at 6:30PM, followed Q&A period. Time for signing will available afterwards. Preorder your copy here. Books will also be available to purchase on-site. About Shadow PriceBorrowing its title from a finance term—“the estimated price of a good or service for which no market price exists”—Shadow Price is a stunning debut that examines the idea of value in a world that burns under our capitalist lens. What gives life value? How do we serve existing societal structures that determine its cost? Employing both surreal and documentary imagery, Farah Ghafoor's arresting collection articulates how narrative is used to revise the past and manipulate the future, ultimately forming our present-day climate crisis. Interrogating personal complicity, generational implications, and the shock of our collective disregard for a world that sustains every living thing, Shadow Price captures the complexities of living and writing as a young poet born in the year that “climate change denial” first appeared in print. Mourning the loss of Earth’s biodiversity, from insects to mammoths to trees, these introspective poems invite us to consider the risks and rewards of loving what may vanish in our lifetime. Shadow Price charges readers to contemplate their power and purpose in the world today, recognizing that there is hope even in the belly of the beast. Farah Ghafoor is the author of Shadow Price (House of Anansi, 2025). Selections of her debut won the E.J. Pratt Medal and Prize in Poetry, and were finalists for the CBC Poetry Prize and the Far Horizons Award for Poetry. Her work has appeared in art exhibitions, magazines, and anthologies such as FACE/WASTE, The Walrus, and Halal If You Hear Me (Haymarket Books, 2019), as well as post-secondary course syllabi. Raised in New Brunswick and southern Ontario, Farah resides in Tkaranto (Toronto) where she writes about the intersection of climate change, colonialism, and capitalism.Jade Wallace (they/them) is a queer and disabled writer, editor, and critic whose books include two poetry collections, Love Is A Place But You Cannot Live There and The Work Is Done When We Are Dead (Guernica Editions, 2023 and 2026) and a genderless novel ANOMIA (Palimpsest Press, 2024). Wallace is also the co-founder of the collaborative writing entity MA|DE, alongside Mark Laliberte, and their poetry collections include ZZOO, out now, and DETOURISM, forthcoming, both with Palimpsest Press.
