Join us for a reading and conversation featuring our past and present Critics-in-Residence, Shannon Webb-Campbell and Lucas Crawford.

Open to the Public
Refreshments will be served

Lucas is CWILA’s Critic-in-Residence for 2015 and Shannon was our 2014 Critic-in-Residence. This position was created by CWILA in response to a proven gender gap in Canada’s reviewing culture – to encourage more women and transgender writers to review books and engage in public critical conversations about writing in Canada. The event will showcase the incredible poetic talent of these two writers and also engage in a discussion about barriers to equity in Canadian literary culture.

We are grateful to UBC’s Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice, SFU’s English Department and SFU’s Department of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies for their support of this event
