How Stories Breathe
About this Event
Come spend an evening with some of the most exciting Indigenous authors writing today. Moderator Samantha Beynon sits down with Monique Gray Smith, Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Jordan Abel, and Amanda Peters for a warm and wide-ranging conversation about story, craft, and what it means to write and bring their stories to life. Monique’s Sharing the Light is full of heart and the kind of wisdom that stays with you. Michael’s The Lost Haida Manga: A Compendium will genuinely surprise you with how far a story can stretch and still hold together. Jordan’s Dad Era is intimate, layered, and unlike anything else you will read this year. Amanda’s The Birthing Tree is not to be missed. There will be bannock bites for the audience and bannock and tea for the authors. Join us for good company, great books, and the kind of conversation that makes you want to go home and read everything.
