2011-12

 

The Department of English Literature is delighted to announce the 23nd season of the Writers Reading Series in Peterborough. These events bring award-winning and world-class authors to Peterborough for literaryb readings, critical/practical discussionsand plain old casual conversation.

As befits the range and scope of Canada’s literary landscape, our authorsb cover a lot of emotional and intellectual ground. These are smart people with serious talent, but the events are stimulating and funny, not stodgy and solemn. Because we choose writers for their unique talents no two events are exactly alike, but they’re all free and they’re all fun.

All events begin at 7:00 PM in the Junior Common Room (Scott House) at Traill College, 310 London Street, Peterborough, with a public reception in The Trend Pub immediately afterwards. We invite all members of the community to take advantage of this opportunity to see, hear, and meet these writers in relaxed and hospitable circumstances.
