Sierra Quadra is honoured to present a reading of The Ridge by its Quadra author, Robert Bringhurst, at the Quadra Community Centre, Saturday, October 21st, 7:30 pm, doors open at 7:00 pm.
The Ridge is not only an epic historical and environmental portrait of Heriot Ridge on Quadra Island, but this profoundly poetic reading is also a major literary event with one of the foremost writers and thinkers who is presently being published. Robert Bringhurst is the winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence, and a former Guggenheim Fellow in poetry. Widely celebrated for his work not only in poetry, but also in typography and linguistics, he is an Officer of the Order of Canada. With the esteemed artist Bill Reid he is the author of “The Raven Steals the Light” and translator of a trilogy titled “Masterworks of the Classical Haida Mythtellers” This first complete public reading of The Ridge promises to be quite an evening.
