The brainchild of local poet Sarah Tsiang, this whimsical celebration of Canadian poetry brings together the work of over two dozen poets named Susan, plus a poem by Lorna Crozier, a wannabe Susan. Three Susans read from their work and discuss the importance of being Susan: Susan Gillis, whose new collection, The Rapids, explores the turbulent passages in our lives; Susan Olding, who returns to the form after the success of her memoir Pathologies; and Susan McMaster, whose very personal collection Crossing Arcs: Alzheimer’s, My Mother, and Me was a finalist for the Archibald Lampman Award. Moderated by Sarah Tsiang.

General admission: $12.50/$16.00 onsite
