New music, plus David Ly in conversation with Ellen Chang-Richardson (in collaboration with the Ottawa International Writers Festival)

In this episode, we'll feature a taste of new local music, plus share a conversation between poets Ellen Chang-Richardson and David Ly as part of our collaboration with the Ottawa International Writers Festival. More details on our featured interview: Poet Ellen Chang-Richardson reunites with David Ly (“Lee”) for a conversation on his second collection Dream of Me as Water, which explores ways of being that are not beholden to the expectations of others. Using water as his central metaphor, Ly meditates on how identity is never a stagnant concept, but instead something that is intangible, fluid, and ever-evolving. Dream of Me as Water revels in the nuances of the self, flouting outside perceptions for deeper, more personal realities. TOMORROW @ Writersfest - Bryan Trottier on “All Roads Home” - 3pm Christ Church Cathedral https://writersfestival.org/events/fall-2022-in-person-events/all-roads-home Bryan Trottier, in celebration of All Roads Home: A Life On and Off the Ice , a poignant and inspiring memoir of the people and challenges that shaped the life and career of Canada's most decorated Indigenous athlete.
