all proceeds to artists via Vines Arts Festival
Curated by Valeen Jules and Jaz Whitford
Curated by Valeen Jules and Jaz Whitford, the nighshift poetry book features queer Indigenous, Black, and People of Color creatives who bring healing to our communities and the land. Vines Arts Festival gathered these artists to honour their stories and deliver medicine to frontlines, elders, matriarchs, queers, lifegivers, and children. From Vines Arts Festival: “These are a few of many firekeepers of our hearts who will continue to fight for our sovereignty and write more poetry about it.”
words crack my broken brain by Rosemary Xinhe Hu
$25 – All proceeds to artist who donates a portion to eating disorder and mental health recovery groups.
Rosemary Xinhe Hu is an artist, a linguist, an immigrant, and a mentally ill person who lives well with bipolar. “words crack, my broken brain” is Rosemary’s first self-published chapbook. Themes scattered throughout this special little book include mental health recovery, cross-cultural language loss, the asian diaspora, and racism. Multiple poems in it were written in reflection on Rosemary’s time in 2018 spent in a Canadian psychiatric institution. Rosemary’s intention with this chapbook is to loudly share her continued journey into recovery while living with the cyclic mental illness of bipolar, and finding ways to live lightly along the way. She believes in the power of storytelling and passing on our shared lived suffering in order to continue to have faith in the future we cannot see, when we are facing a mental health challenge. Thank you for your support towards the radical and beautiful mentally ill community.
