The editors of the Luminous Ink: Writers on Writing in Canada anthology (Dionne Brand, Tessa McWatt and Rabindranath Maharaj) will discuss the book and what it means to be a writer in Canada with moderator Marc Côté.
At the heart of this anthology are questions around the work of words. What does it mean to be a writer in this country? What can the literature being written today — the stories, the novels, the poetry, the drama, the creative non-fiction — tell us about Canada’s social arrangements; about its political and aesthetic shapes and its preoccupations? In the 21st century is a “national literature” possible, let alone desirable?
