Literary Reading Series: Theresa Kishkan

The Sunshine Coast Arts Council, under the guidance of a Literary Reading Committee, sponsors a series of readings each year. Authors make a selection to read from their texts, followed by a discussion with the audience. This will be held in person at the Arts Centre, entrance by donation.

Theresa Kishkan is a poet, novelist, and essayist and writer living on the Sechelt Peninsula on the west coast of Canada whose most recent work, Blue Portugal, was published by University of Alberta Press this past spring. Kishkan describes herself as a “sloppy quilter” and growing vegetables and flowers “happily, if carelessly.” But when it comes to her writing, these descriptions do not apply. Her use of words is precise, intentional, and meditative.
