Copper Woman

You are invited to an evening with the incomparable Afua Cooper as she launches her new book of poetry Copper Woman. This book speaks liberatory dub poetics which say equality and equity are possible and within reach. Copper woman invites us to cast off the chains and shackles that limit our insight, proclaim our freedom, and grasp a greater vision of the world. Allan Briesmaster describes Copper Woman as "incantatory, vivid, passionate, sensual and incendiary...a nourishment for the imagination."

Come hear Afua Cooper fresh from her tour of the best-selling and landmark book The Hanging of Angelique.

Special guests at the Copper Woman launch are the Dub Trinity Band, and dynamite poets Mel White, Strong, and Heron Jonse.
