A New Reading Series

UBC graduate students Brook Houglum, Travis Mason and Meliz Ergin, as well as out-going instructor Christine Stewart, have, with a little help from me, started a reading series at UBC. We just got a little pot of Canada Council funding! Support as well from Canadian Studies at UBC, the English Department and Green College.

We've had two inaugeral readings so far, one featuring Lisa Robertson last spring, and one earlier this summer with Meredith Quartermain, Dorothy Trujillo-Lusk and Hiromi Goto. Fred Booker was also supposed to read, but he unfortnately fell ill just before the event. Meliz Ergin read a little bit of Adventures in Debt Collection to call his presence into the room.

Line-up for the fall and winter to be announced soon, so stay tuned!
