Holiday Inn Waterfront : Bellevue South
2 Princess Street
Kingston, ON
K7L 1A2

Don't miss "With Brush and Pen", readings and coversations with Anita Rau Badami, Lorna Goodison and Diane Schoemperlen.

Lorna Goodison began her creative life in Jamaica as a painter, but while she was studying at the School of the Art Students League in New York, poetry “took her over like a tyrant.” Anita Rau Badami, who has just released her fourth novel, Tell It to the Trees, has a parallel life as a visual artist. Diane Schoemperlen won the Governor General’s Award for her collection of stories, Forms of Devotion, illustrated with her own collages. How is the visual imagination different from the literary muse? When aren’t words enough?

General Admission: $12.50/$16.00 at the door.
