Satan Christianity’s Other God
Get your free preview e-book copy of Volume 2 when you pick of Satan Christianity’s Other God- Volume 1.
Is Satan Real? It is not a new question but it’s a provocative question for this age. Does Satan really possess humans and harm innocent people? Is Satan truly the Lord of a fiery underworld where unrighteous souls are tormented for eternity? Is Hell real? You won’t see God or Satan the same after hearing the logic and facts showing man created Satan and according to the Bible, Satan isn’t real.
James Brayshaw is a Saskatoon Firefighter who spent years researching the origins of Satan and his relationship to Christianity. Through his books and internet radio program he shares his findings with the wider community.

Prismatic Publics and Neighbour Procedure (Coach House)
Prismatic Publics: Innovative Canadian Women’s Poetry and Poetics contains selections dating back to the early 1970s while others appear in print for the first time. The fifteen women in this anthology are some of the best writers currently engaged in avant-garde literary production, defining the contours of new movements and schools of writing.
Neighbour Procedure follows up Zolf’s Trillium Award-winning Human Resources and is a virtuoso polyvocal correspondence with the daily news, ancient scripture and contemporary theory that puts the ongoing conflict in Israel/Palestine firmly in the crosshairs.
Rachel Zolf is a poet and editor from Toronto who is presently living in New York. She is the author of several books of poetry and her work is included in Prismatic Publics.
Heather Milne is an assistant professor in the English Department at the University of Winnipeg and is currently working on a book-length study of 21st-century innovative North American feminist poetics. Milne is co-editor with Kate Eichhorn of Prismatic Publics.
The night will also feature a reading from Winnipeg poet Colin Smith, who will channel poets Dorothy Lusk and Catriona Strang from Prismatic Publics.

Curtains: Adventures of an Undertaker-in-Training (Random House Canada)
Tom Jokinen now lives in Ottawa, but his darkly comic Curtains was conceived in Winnipeg where he took a job as an apprentice undertaker in 2006. He had serious questions about the secular funeral rites that are taking over the industry: is this really the way we want to say our final goodbyes? Curtains is about what he found, from the mundane to the macabre. Curtains lifts the veil on the funeral industry in the 21st century.
Tom Jokinen is a radio producer and a video-journalist who has worked on Morningside, Counterspin with Avi Lewis, and Definitely Not the Opera among other CBC shows. He will be joined at this launch by CBC Radio’s own Terry MacLeod.
