About this Event
With readings by Lana Hall, Kathy Chow, Claire Cameron, Stephen Marche, and Darcy Ballantyne.
Selected and introduced by Deborah Dundas, Best Canadian Essays 2027 provides a unique perspective on what constitutes the best Canadian nonfiction writing published in the previous year. Featuring insights on the impact and aftermath of COVID, battling wildfires and understanding Indigenous fire stewardship, a life before and after trauma, condo-buying, dead mall tours, difficult family histories, and more, these fifteen essays negotiate the zone between then and now, and take readers straight to the heart of the matter.

Her work has appeared in numerous publications in Canada, the UK and Ireland including Maclean’s, Globe and Mail, National Post, Canadian Notes and Queries, Belfast Telegraph, and Sunday Independent.
