Welcome to the RBC Vancouver event, where we'll be diving into September's theme, Endurance , through this month's read, Endure: Mind, Body and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance , by Alex Hutchinson. In Endure , Hutchinson reveals why our individual limits may be determined as much by our head and heart, as by our muscles. He presents an overview of science’s search for understanding human fatigue, from crude experiments with electricity and frogs’ legs to sophisticated brain imaging technology. Going beyond the traditional mechanical view of human limits, he instead argues that a key element in endurance is how the brain responds to distress signals - whether heat, or cold, or muscles screaming with lactic acid - and reveals that we can train to improve brain response. Why we chose to read Endure : " If you want to gain insight into the mind of great athletes, adventurers, and peak performers then prepare to be enthralled by Alex Hutchinson’s Endure." - Bear Grylls Inspired by our monthly non-fiction reads, our mix of part cocktail party, part creative classroom is a recipe that builds your reading habit while connecting with like minded people. Special guest: Michaela Khan Michaela holds a BA and MSc in Kinesiology from Western University, where she captained the squash team. Now, as a PhD candidate in Physical Therapy at UBC, Michaela studies all things running science. Michaela’s current research (funded by the Canadian Institute of Health Research) investigates the effects of running on our knees, especially in older runners with knee pain. Combining motion capture technology, advanced medical imaging, & wearable sensors, this work considers training management, footwear, & running technique modification. Michaela has a strong passion for education in the running community. Her work has been featured by award-winning journalists in the New York Times, Washington Post, Toronto Star, Canadian Running Magazine, as well as on radio & podcasts.

Western Front and The Capilano Review are pleased to present an evening with writer-in-residence Erín Moure. The event will begin with a conversation with scholar Alessandra Capperdoni, and will be followed by a reading by Erín Moure from her latest book of poems Theophylline: A(n) (a)po(r)etic migration (Anansi, 2023), a work of poetry motivated by asthma, seeking poetry’s futurity in a queer and female heritage. In it, Moure crosses a border as translator, to engage the poetry of three American modernists—Muriel Rukeyser, Elizabeth Bishop, and Angelina Weld Grimké. Moure asks: What is breath for? What is archive? Why write a poem, instead of...something else? Admission is free, with registration recommended. Registration includes the option for a one-year subscription to The Capilano Review at a discounted rate. The event will be livestreamed here . About the Artists Erín Moure is a poet, essayist, and translator of poetry based in Montréal, Canada who works across Galician, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. A recipient of two Governor General’s Literary Awards—poetry and translation—as well as the Pat Lowther Memorial Award and the A.M. Klein Prize, she holds two honorary doctorates and has been International Translator in Residence at Queen’s College (Oxford) and Woodberry Creative Fellow (Harvard). Alessandra Capperdoni teaches in the Department of Global Humanities at Simon Fraser University. Her interests lie at the intersection of poetics, avant-garde writing, psychoanalysis, and writing informed by the practice of translation, especially in the areas of feminism and transculturalism. Her current work focuses on post-1960s Canadian poetics in the context of the social imaginaries shaped by the convergence of nationalism and globalization, as well as women’s avant-garde writing and feminist phenomenology in Canada.
