A group of contributors to the latest Diaspora Dialogues anthology TOK: Writing the New Toronto, Book 5 converged on “the rock” in Yorkville today at lunch hour to read their entries in this engaging new collection of poetry and short stories. From left to right (back row) are Marni Van Dyk, Nalo Hopkinson, Chang Liu, Leslie Shimotakahara and Dawn Promislow (reading); front row, Karishma Kripalani, Sandy Pool, Chelsea Gamble, Michael Fraser and Mayank Bhatt.
In the book preface, Diaspora Dialogues founder Helen Walsh promises “a dynamic mix of voices [from] across the city . . . stories and poems about journeys to fantastic places and deep into the heart and about the sometimes uneasy space one occupies between multiple identities.” TOK 5 gets its official launch Thursday (May 20) with a celebration and reading at the Toronto Reference Library at 7:30 pm; free.
