Liars of Orpheus is a literary/spoken word show that revolves around writers attempting to lie their way through stories, poems and lectures. Writers recieve points for bootlegging truths past the other panelists or convincing them that their lies are truths. They lose points if their lies are discovered. For our first season semi-finals we have Holly Flauto, Spillious the Ridiculous One, Hari Alluri, and Franz Seachel as our presenters and our host, all the way from the republic of east Vancouver, Lucia Misch. Holly Flauto(she/they) is a poet, story-teller, learner and instructor living and writing on the traditional, ancestral and stolen territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwxwú7mesh and Selilwitulh Nations. ̱ Their debut poetry-memoir collection exploring immigration to Canada as a modern-day settler, Permission to Settle, will be published with Anvil Press in September 2024. Their fiction and creative memoir has previously been published in The Ex- Puritan, Joyland, and The Rusty Toque, and they perform as Stella Palermo on the local story and poetry slam stages. Holly is a Creative Writing and English instructor at Capilano University. Spillious aka Trevana Spilchen is a Trans feminine settler parent, musician, spoken word artist and educator of Ukrainian and Irish decent. They are 2024 recipient of the Zacheus Jackson Memorial award won the 2017 Grand Slam Championship of the Vancouver Poetry slam and finished 6th at the 2018 Canadian Individual Poetry Slam.  They have toured as a featured poet all throughout Canada and the US. Spillious has released 3 chapbooks of poetry and the last, Tales of Trans-formation sold 200 copies. From Sept 2021-23 they shepherded the return of poetry slam in Vancouver as the Slam Coordinator for Vancouver Poetry House and the Tournament Director for the Canadian Individual Poetry Slam Championships. Most importantly, Spillious is a parent to 4 kids ranging in age from 5 yrs to 23 yrs old and 4 cats named Cola, Orange Crush, Dr. Pepper & Rootbeer! Hari Alluri (he/him/siya) is a migrant poet of Pangasinan, Ilokano, and Telugu descent who lives, loves, and writes on unceded Coast Salish territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh peoples, and Kwantlen, Katzie and Kwikwetlem lands of Hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking peoples. Siya is author of The Flayed City and chapbook Our Echo of Sudden Mercy. Recipient of the Vera Manuel Award for Poetry, among other awards, grants, fellowships and residencies, his work appears through these venues and elsewhere: Apogee, Michigan Quarterly Review, Poetry, poetry in canada, PRISM International and—via Split This Rock—Best of the Net. @harialluri Hari Alluri (he/him/siya) has a weakness for the types of beings -- human, deity, or otherwise who thieve and grieve, who joke and, terrible even, sing. Franz Seachel is a South-Asian multidisciplinary artist and settler residing on unceded Coast-Salish lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmaɁɬ təməxʷ (Musqueam) nations.

Her work has been featured at several events and festivals across so-called Canada, and she's currently working on her debut novel among other multidisciplinary projects. Franz is a creator of space. She believes art creates genuine connections. Art makes living bearable—she does her best to put more colour into the world, both by brightening up the mundane with creation, and in her mission to uplift the truths of marginalized bodies. Franz hopes you dream often; she hopes you find reasons to stay. Follow her on Instagram @franz_seachel.

Main Street is a long street in Vancouver, parallel to Granville Street and Oak Street. Unlike Granville and Oak, the street is narrower, the houses are denser, and there are more second-hand shops on the roadside. There are Still Fabulous under the Vancouver Women&#39;s and Children&#39;s Hospital, Thrift Store of YWCA, and Beansprouts, a second-hand children&#39;s clothing, books and toys store. In addition, many restaurants have set up branches on Main Street, such as Rocky Mountain Flatbread and meeT on Main.

It is really a once-in-a-lifetime train experience. In September 2019, the weather in Canada was very suitable. It was amazing to take a train and experience the colorful mountains. The train company held a grand farewell ceremony before departure for the train at Vancouver Railway Station. This gave me a pleasant surprise. Not only did the train have Chinese service staff to introduce the scenery along the way, but there was also a food experience. Sitting on the train and looking at the scenery of the Rocky Mountains and eating Michelin meals, it really can&#39;t be described in words. The ticket price is indeed not cheap. I was a little hesitant before booking, but after the experience, I felt that the money was worth it. Also, I thought it would be boring on the train before leaving, but I didn&#39;t expect there were still a lot of activities. I couldn&#39;t stop taking pictures, especially the glass dome, which was like watching an IMAX blockbuster. Soon the wonderful day passed. The Queen&#39;s favorite train is indeed well-deserved, making my wife and I feel very noble. . .
