Five authors will feature in the Nov. 28 North/West Passages online reading series. Set for 6 pm Mountain Time, the event is open to the public via Zoom, with advanced registration only. Featured readers will include Joan Galat, L.E. Carmichael, Lexie Angelo, Leslie Greentree and Meghan J. Ward. The monthly series celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Writers’ Union of Canada, and features authors from around the Alberta / Northwest Territories and Nunavut regions, plus guest authors from elsewhere in Canada. The host for the series is St. Albert, Alberta author Jacqueline Carmichael, The Writers’ Union of Canada regional representative for Alberta, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. “I’m delighted and amazed at each event’s slate of authors, and the Nov. 28 roundup is stellar,” Carmichael said. “We love having readers of all ages and walks of life tune in for a cornucopia of reading possibilities. It’s all about access, and we’re taking full advantage of the technology to showcase Canada’s great literary scene,” Carmichael said.
"And I think of all the possible impossibilities that wash in and out of focus; how dependent they are on where and how we look."
