BOOK LAUNCH (hosted by University of Regina Press):  THE HOUSE OF CHARLEMAGNE, by Tim Lilburn
Louis Riel envisioned the western Prairies not just as Métis territory, but as the site of an ideal imagined nation, the House of Charlemagne, which, as he prophesied, would rise five hundred years after his death. The hallmarks of this ideal nation would be justice, ontological accord, and the blurring of separations dividing women and men, the earth and human beings. Yet today few know of the House of Charlemagne, as many of Riel's papers have been lost--some during Riel's travels, and some on the streets of New York City, when Riel's devoted secretary, Honoré Jaxon, who had hoped to build a library of Riel's work, was evicted from his basement apartment.

In his latest work of poetry, The House of Charlemagne, Tim Lilburn tracks the birth of Riel's nation in the burning imagination of Honoré Jaxon. Commissioned by Edward Poitras as a text for dancers, the poem gives voice and body to a visionary metaphysics of land and identity.

Please join us at the MacKenzie Art Gallery to hear Tim Lilburn read from The House of Charlemagne. This event will be followed by a dance performance from New Dance Horizons's Rouge-gorge at 7 pm.

BOOK LAUNCH IS FREE OF CHARGE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
About the Author:
Tim Lilburn is a Governor General's Award-winning poet and essayist. In 2017, he became the first Canadian to be awarded the European Medal of Poetry and Art.
Praise for The House of Charlemagne:

"The brilliant collaborations at the heart of this book testify to the persistence of loyalty, belief, poetry, community, and the land itself. The colonial agenda of erasure is refuted by the music of shared creation. Even when the text is lost, the dance continues." - Warren Cariou, author of Lake of the Prairies

"Let this text remind us of politics as empathy, politics as animate, bodily cardiographic. Let Riel's bristling imagination inhabit us and help us to re-engage the metaphysical dimensions of government, its grounding in what-is, its radical connection to place." - Sue Sinclair, author of Heaven's Thieves
