SUMMARY:Honouring Indigenous Writers - A Poetry Reading with Poet Marilyn Dumont
DESCRIPTION:Marilyn Dumont is the author of four collections of poems: A 
 Really Good Brown Girl (winner of the 1997 Gerald Lampert Award)\, green 
 girl dreams Mountains (winner of the Writer’s Guild of Alberta’s 2001 
 Stephan G. Stephansson Award)\, that tongued belonging (winner of the 2007 
 McNally Robinson Aboriginal Poetry Book of the Year and Aboriginal Book of 
 the Year Award) and The Pemmican Eaters (published in 2015 by ECW Press). 
 The original Brick Books edition of A Really Good Brown Girl was reprinted 
 thirteen times\, and selections from the book are widely anthologized in 
 secondary and post-secondary texts. Marilyn has been Writer-in-Residence at 
 the Edmonton Public Library and in numerous universities across Canada. In 
 addition\, she has been faculty at the Banff Centre for the Arts’ Writing 
 with Style and Wired Writing programs\, as well as an advisor and mentor in 
 their Indigenous Writers’ Program. She serves as a board member on The 
 Public Lending Rights Commission of Canada. She is an Associate Professor 
 at the University of Alberta\, cross-appointed in the Faculty of Native 
 Studies and the Department of English and Film Studies.\n\nThis event is 
 part of the Honouring Indigenous Writers on Wikipedia event\, which seeks 
 to improve the coverage of Indigenous writers on Wikipedia and to encourage 
 diverse community editors to actively work to dissuade assumptions about 
 Indigenous literature by raising their profile in this increasingly 
 influential information source. This year\, instead of our annual Wikipedia 
 Edit-a-thon we have put together a schedule of author readings and 
 workshops throughout the month of March\, as well as asynchronous Wikipedia 
 editing challenges designed to be easily accessed and doable online 
 whenever you have time. You can read more about these events here:

 \n\nPlease note: This event is from 12-1 Pacific time.\n\n \n\nYou will be 
 emailed a Zoom link 1 week in advance of the event.
