Local Luminary Turns Lecture Into Poetry

Award-winning poet and chair of the University of Victoria’s Department of Writing Lorna Crozier will read from her extensive collection of work, speak about her latest projects and comment on the process of writing itself at the university’s Distinguished Professors Lecture on Thursday, November 20.
