A.J. Mallinson Reads at The Festival

Terra Infirma – A Life Unbalanced – Anna Jean Mallinson

The Windshift Press Group is thrilled to have Anna Jean Mallinson do a reading at The Pacific Festival of the Book in Victoria, BC on Saturday, March 23rd at 4:00 in Studio 3. If you are attending the Festival drop by our booth to get your signed copy of Terra Infirma as well as copies of any other Windshift Press titles you may have missed.

Terra Infirma - A Life Unbalanced tells the story of a summer that became a season of change through a toxic response to gentamicin and the author’s struggle to reclaim a life in a body disabled by this modern elixir.



Jean Mallinson is the author of a book of short stories, I Will Bring You Berries, a book of poems, Between Cup and Lip, and, with four other writers, a book of poems, Quintet: Themes & Variations. She is also the author of essays and articles, most recently in Vocabula Review.

She lives in West Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

“Jean Mallinson, in her wrenching, compelling account of her own disability, reminds us that we, all of us -- wherever our station, whatever our circumstances -- live an uncertain, a wobbly life. A lovely mix of personal thought and literary quotation, A Life Unbalanced is full of honest feeling and whirling reflection.“
