And Then She Fell “is the fulfillment of the promise of Alicia Elliott’s storytelling prowess” according to Cherie Dimaline. A Grandmother Begins the Story, by Michelle Porter, is “charged with huge blasts of imaginative force,” and Erica T. Wurth calls katherena vermette’s The Circle “a polyphonic masterpiece.” What a gift to be joined by three of the most lauded and creative Indigenous writers in conversation. They speak to the process of writing their poignant, nuanced, exceptionally moving stories; the strength of Indigenous women at the heart of their latest works; and the nuance of beauty and heartbreak interwoven in stories and life. Moderated by Michelle Cyca.
