Ivan Coyote Reads
Ivan Coyote was born and raised in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. An award-winning author of five collections of short stories, one novel, two CD’s, four short films and a renowned performer, Ivan’s first love is live storytelling, and over the last fifteen years she has become an audience favourite at music, poetry, spoken word and writer's festivals from Anchorage to Amsterdam. The Globe and Mail called Ivan "a natural-born storyteller" and Ottawa X Press said "Coyote is to CanLit what k.d. lang is to country music: a beautifully odd fixture." Ivan’s column, Loose End, has appeared monthly in Xtra West magazine since 2001. Her first novel, Bow Grip, was released in the fall of 2006, and was awarded the Relit award for best fiction and named by the American Library Association as a Stonewall honor book in literature. Ivan recently completed an eight-month writer in residence at Carleton University in Ottawa, and a four month writer in residence at the Vancouver Public Library. She is hard at work on her second novel. Ivan will be reading selected stories from her latest collection, The Slow Fix, which was nominated for a Lambda award. She will also bust out a couple of chunks of her new novel, Almost Twelve, and maybe a couple of tales from Only Two Reasons, a CD of northern love songs that is currently in production and will be released in the late spring of 2010. Ivan reads beginning at 7 pm on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2010 at the Lasqueti Arts Center. Entry it $5-10 on a sliding scale. FMI JennyV @8601. Please feel free to bring light potluck snacks for afterwards.
