Thursday, December 11, 7 p.m.
1450 West 64th Avenue, Vancouver (two blocks east of Granville Street)
Please join us at Historic Joy Kogawa House on Thursday, December 11, for wine, finger foods, and discussion with writers Hiromi Goto and Caroline Adderson about what a writer needs when living and working in residence.
This discussion will help us plan activities as we host the return to the city of Vancouver-born writer Madeleine Thien. As our inaugural writer in residence, Maddy arrives in Vancouver on March 1 for a three-month stay at Historic Joy Kogawa House. During her residency with us, 60 percent of Madeleine’s time will be devoted to producing new work; the remaining 40 percent of time will be occupied by various projects within the community, including work with individual writers, a project with high school students, and an event during Asian Canadian Heritage Month in May.
Please plan to join us at the house just after 7 p.m. on Thursday, December 11. This will be our first annual general meeting since founding our society last year, and we look forward to a bit of fun as we host Caroline Adderson and Hiromi Goto as guest writers for the evening.
Please also plan to renew or take out a membership in the society.
Your RSVP would be appreciated at kogawahouse@yahoo.ca.
