Michael Ondaatje: Roots and Restlessness

This is a Digital only, livestreamed event. Michael Ondaatje will be appearing remotely. 

If you know Michael Ondaatje’s beautiful, lyrical fiction, you won't be surprised to learn that over 50 years ago the Booker Prize-winner of The English Patient began his career as a poet. Today, in a special digital event, Ondaatje shares his first poetry collection in years, A Year of Last Things: an elegiac collection that meditates on memory, history, and the act of looking back with chair, Jennifer Williams.
