JC Sulzenko’s new book of poetry, Life, after life—from epitaph to epilogue, was launched November 30 at the Prince Edward County Public Library’s branch in Picton. The hour-long celebration included readings by those in attendance and ended with refreshments.
Published under her pen name, A. Garnett Weiss, Life, after Life is JC’s third poetry collection. In this new book she turns words and phrases found in obituaries published in the Globe and Mail into over 60, five-line, singular poems.
“I read them all—for the stories, for what they say about life rather than about death,” JC explained. “ I liken these poems to an epilogue or afterword, since each one rounds out what I drew from my readings rather than recasts an obituary about any one person.”
Keys at the end of the collection provide the given names of each person about whom JC read.
JC thanked the Library for its interest in and support for her work. She expressed her gratitude to Prince Edward County artist Martin Soldat for allowing the image of his painting to appear on the front cover.

The cover of JC’s book appears on the top shelf of a jigsaw puzzle in three sizes displaying books by Canadian authors in a cozy setting. Through an innovative partnership, the Canadian Authors Association and its members benefit by showcasing recent publications.
Here’s how to buy a copy. Puzzle producer The Occurrence has in place solid arrangements to respond to every order. Go to:
