19. To Whom the Wilderness Spoke: Louise de Kiriline Lawrence

Join award-winning author Merilyn Simonds as she speaks with Eric Friesen about Woman, Watching: Louise de Kiriline Lawrence and the Songbirds of Pimisi Bay – a beautifully rendered hybrid memoir/biography. As-the-crow-flies neighbours in the Northern Ontario woods, and both avid birders, Merilyn met Louise as she was publishing her last book and Merilyn was writing her first, sparking a lifelong fascination with the Swedish aristocrat turned ornithologist.

Coffee event – admission includes coffee, tea, and baked goods.
