Reading Recommendations

Elizabeth’s Bookshop & Writing Centre, founded by Rachel Elizabeth Cargle, is an innovative literary centre designed to amplify and celebrate marginalized voices. The catalog highlights, promotes, amplifies, celebrates, and honors the work of writers who are often excluded from traditional cultural, social, and academic canons. Elizabeth’s seeks to educate and re-shape the lens of readers—how they see themselves and how they view the world.

A percentage of all sales from Elizabeth’s will go to The Loveland Foundation to support their mission of making mental healthcare accessible for Black women and girls.

Get Ready for Spooky Fun!

Canright marketing coordinator Alexandra Sulack is an opera singer and voice teacher. She curates some suggestions for you, and this spooky season, we get to highlight one of her projects:

The Harbingers
Composer Rosśa Crean presents the world premiere of “The Harbingers” from Halloween Night 2019 at the historic Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago. Created with librettist Kendra Leonard, directed by Emily Brantz, the acappella opera tells the story of the harbingers of death who convene on Halloween Night to judge the fate of a recently departed soul. Alexandra Plattos Sulack sings the role of Hel, a Norse goddess of the underworld. Hel was one of the children of the trickster god Loki, and her kingdom is said to lie downward and northward. This one-act opera runs about 50 minutes and can be watched at any time on Youtube. Click this link to give it a watch. (P.S. The opera is in English, and the video contains subtitles.)
