SUMMARY:Victoria Festival of Authors: Truth\, Trauma\, Beauty\, Beast
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nWith Amanda Leduc\, Michael Prior and Jesse Thistle\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nJoin a conversation and reading with three writers whose work in essay\, poetry\, and narrative freshly inhabit the world of memoir. In Disfigured\, Amanda Leduc illuminates the connections between fairy tales and disability as she explores her relationship to her own body. Michael Prior’s collection\, Burning Province\, holds intergenerational trauma and cultural legacy at centre in poems that blaze with the experience of his Japanese grandparents in a BC internment camp. From the Ashes\, Jesse Thistle’s #1 national bestseller\, recounts with bracing honesty his struggle out of a life of abuse\, addiction\, and trauma\, and back into his redemptive Indigenous inheritance. Tracing bloodline\, history\, memory\, and the body\, these writers wrestle the truth in their stories in pursuit of a reconciling witness. \nModerated by Carla Funk. Closed-Captioned. \nFREE\, BUT REGISTRATION REQUIRED. REGISTER HERE. \n\n\n\n
