Event: An Evening with Author Canisia Lubrin
Join us for a special literary evening celebrating the forthcoming book The World After Rain by acclaimed poet, editor, and novelist Canisia Lubrin in conversation with Souvankham Thammavongsa.
The evening will open with brief readings by The RBC / PEN Canada New Voices Award 2025 winners: Georgio Russell & Anna Sokolova, setting the stage for Canisia’s featured reading from her highly anticipated new collection.
A Carol Shields Prize winner for her collection of fictions Code Noir, Canisia Lubrin now brings readers a long-form poetic tribute to her mother, praised by Dionne Brand as “incandescent”. She is also the author of The Dyzgraphxst (winner of the Griffin Poetry Prize) and Voodoo Hypothesis.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of the most vital voices in contemporary literature share new work.
This evening is brought to you by the Forum for Caribbean Writers and Readers, PEN Canada, The Carol Shields Prize for Fiction, and New College - University of Toronto.
📖 The World After Rain is published by McClelland & Stewart (Canada) Soft Skull Press (U.S.).
