- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 29 Nov, 2025 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 29 Nov, 2025 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join acclaimed local authors James Cairns, Tanis MacDonald, and Mariam Pirbhai for an afternoon of thoughtful conversation exploring how we find meaning - and a sense of home - in a changing world. Through essays that span topics from personal and political crises to the simple act of walking or gardening, these writers invite readers to consider how we move through spaces both inner and outer: the landscapes we inhabit, the communities we build, and the stories that root us.

Together, they’ll discuss their latest works - In Crisis, On Crisis: Essays in Troubled Times, Straggle: Adventures in Walking While Female, and Garden Inventories: Reflections on Land, Place and Belonging - and the intersections between self, place, and resilience that run through them all. A book signing and opportunity to purchase copies will follow the discussion.

Presented in partnership with Words Worth Books.
