Meet Authors Sara Power and Katalin Kennedy

Join us on May 21, 2024 in welcoming Canadian authors Sara Power and Katalin Kennedy.

Sara Power is a Canadian author and former artillery officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, Sara Power for a reading and discussion of her collection of short stories; Art of Camouflage.

A powerful debut about the lives of girls and women caught in the orbit of the military.

Female recruits weathering toxic masculine environments. Military wives stretched thin across countless military moves, new cities and new selves. Military kids whose mercurial friendships flare and fade to the rhythm of their parent’s career path. Throughout, this collection introduces us to characters who trespass beyond the boundaries of their own realities to discover who they are within someone else’s narrative.

Sara Power writes with insight and emotional precision about what it’s like to be unmoored. Art of Camouflage is memorable at every turn, full of characters whose deepest motivations we recognize intrinsically as our own.
