Catherine Greenwood reads at St Jerome's! Thurs 10 March

[Tristanne Connolly]

Please join us for a reading by Catherine Greenwood on Thursday March 10 at 4:30 pm in STJ 2009.

Her latest book of poems, The Lost Letters, is "a sequence of radically diverse poems based on the story of Heloise and Abelard, truly lovers in a dangerous time, the twelfth century ... Greenwood's deft and delicate handling of scenarios of love requited but balked becomes a perceptive reading - extraordinarily inventive and constantly surprising - of contemporary secular society."

The opening act will be Menaka Shanmuganantha.

Catherine Greenwood's poetry and fiction has been widely published in magazines and anthologies, and her poems have won several prizes, including The Banff Centre's Bliss Carman Award and a National Magazine Gold Award. Her first book, The Pearl King and Other Poems, based upon the life of the inventor of the cultured pearl, was a Kiriyama Prize Notable Book. The Lost Letters was shortlisted for BC's Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize, The City of Victoria's Butler Book Prize, and the Relit Awards. Catherine lives in Victoria, BC, where she currently works for the Ministry of Justice.
