Poet, Novelist, and Essayist Dionne Brand on the Writing Life (Margaret Laurence Lecture, 2012)

Poet, novelist, and essayist Dionne Brand shares her insights about the writing life during the Margaret Laurence Lecture. Entitled "Versos 11," Brand's lecture is an ode to what is written and what is withheld, what is said and what is left unsaid. She explores the recursive nature of the left-hand page while recreating past memories using masterfully rhythmic language. The lecture was recorded at the Vancouver Public Library in 2012.
