Friday night at the Palace Grand Theatre, the first literary event in the much-loved space since renovations began in 2016.
You’ll hear Laurel Parry (Whitehorse) read from new work, digging into the field of memoir. Carleigh Baker (Vancouver), one of CBC’s “writers to watch” in 2017, presents unflinching short fiction shaped from her Métis/Icelandic perspective. Accomplished storyteller Ivan Coyote (Vancouver) is well-known for their firm grip on wit, shaping tales that break open your heart between moments of laughter.
Wrapping the night with tunes, musician-writers John K. Samson & Christine Fellows (Winnipeg) bring overlooked stories into the bright circles of their original works.
