Join us for a Double Launch Party: Celebrating Geist 129 and 130!
Thursday, November 27
6 to 8pm
Upstart & Crow
1387 Railspur Alley
Granville Island
Vancouver
Our 2025 Spring and Fall issues deserve a proper party. The poetry, comics, fiction, and essays in these issues feature botanical discoveries, the harrowing symbolism of a training bra, lyricism embedded in train tracks and subways, the exquisite history of a tuber, a father’s secret, the lure of whale ribs, a road trip, a walk through Strathcona neighbourhood. And much more.
With readings by Geist authors Gráinne Downey, Judy LeBlanc and Ginger Ngo.
An open mic will follow, so bring your poems, your bits of lit, your flash fiction, your mini-hybrid pieces, your scraps of non-fiction (we ask that you keep your reading to under 5 minutes, so everyone has a chance to dazzle). Sign up upon arrival :)
The launch is free to attend, though please do register at the link in our bio as space is limited.
