Des Kennedy moderates a panel discussion on “Place” with Michael Crummey, Fred Stenson, Lee Maracle and Renee Saklikar
On Sunday morning, July 19, the concluding event of the 2015 Readers and Writers Festival brings together an all-star cast of authors to probe the power of place. Place: elements of rootedness, of dispossession and reclamation. Illusions of ownership.
Reflecting on the Air India bombing of thirty years ago, poet Renee Sarojini Saklikar writes: “There are images. There is the country, Ireland. There is the country, India. There is the country, Canada. There is the province: Columbia, that is British that is no country but layers in early evening. June 23, 1985. About a plane that disappears somewhere over the Atlantic.”
In conversation with Des Kennedy, these four accomplished writers are certain to provide a provocative and stimulating examination of place in its many dimensions.
