Lorna Crozier featured at this year's Monica Miller Memorial Lecture

MacEwan University's Monica Miller Memorial Lecture is an annual event celebrating women's voices in literature and creative writing. CKUA listeners around the world know Monica Miller was passionate about music. However, she was just as passionate about literature, particularly works by female authors. The annual Monica Miller Memorial Lecture features a prominent female writer, with the aim of amplifying women's voices in literature.

This year, the lecture is featuring Lorna Crozier, who is an Officer of the Order of Canada and the recipient of five honourary doctorates that acknowledge her contribution to Canadian literature.

An award-winning author, including the Governor-General’s Award and three Pat Lowthers, her work includes two memoirs and twenty-two books of poetry, most recently, After That, What the Soul Doesn’t Want (nominated for the Governor-General’s Award), and The Book of Marvels: A Compendium of Everyday Things, listed as one of The Globe and Mail’s top 100 books of 2012.

Following the lecture, Lorna will be interviewed on stage by host Alice Major. A reception and book signing will take place in the atrium after the lecture.
