Open Word: Readings and Ideas: Laurie D. Graham

Event Description

Open Space will host poet and Brick magazine editor Laurie D. Graham as part of Open Word: Readings and Ideas on Wednesday, January 24th at 7:30 p.m. In her two books of poetry, Rove (2013) and Settler Education (2016), Graham deftly engages with the prairies where she grew up, her Polish and Ukrainian heritage, and vital questions about how settlers locate themselves in history and on Indigenous territory. During her time in Victoria, Graham will also take part in readings at the University of Victoria and Planet Earth Poetry.
