# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Ken Wilson, "Walking the Bypass" Author Reading
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-06:00)
- **Event Description**: Through a series of ambitious and unconventional walks, Wilson sets out to understand the arrival and significance of the new (and politically contentious) highway encircling Saskatchewan’s capital as well as the Global Transportation Hub, a sprawling warehouse park the Bypass was intended to serve. He offers a new perspective on these heavily travelled yet untrodden spaces in a region dominated by industrial agriculture and high-speed transportation. Reflecting on the profound transformations to the land since the arrival of settlers in the 1880s, he wonders whether it’s possible to form a connection with the land through walking—even on the gravelly edge of the freeway.

In vivid and sincere prose that captures the thoughts of a pedestrian trudging along the roadside, "Walking the Bypass" explores how walking can transform non-places into places and enable settlers to forge a relationship with the land around them.

Dr. Ken Wilson is an assistant professor in the Department of English & Creative Writing at the University of Regina. He has published creative nonfiction and poetry in The Goose and Queen's Quarterly, and his essay, "The Bear on the Path to Totino" won the 2025 McNally Robinson Bookseller's Creative Nonfiction Contest and will be published in Prairie Fire later in 2026.

Generously sponsored by the Saskatchewan Writers Guild's Author Reading Program.
