- Description
- Open Word: Readings and Ideas, Live Minds and Tangled Beauty, John Pass will be the second reader in Open Word: Readings and Ideas, the literary series launched earlier this month to capacity crowds at Open Space and the University of Victoria. Featuring on-stage discussions with Canada’s top fiction and non-fiction writers, Open Word promises intelligent, spontaneous and culturally pivotal evenings. fFollowing his reading, Pass will be interviewed on stage by local philosopher and poet Tim Lilburn. Their conversation will surprise and challenge as the two discuss the limits of wilderness, the claim of uncertainty and accident on our lives, the philosophy of acceptance, and Pass’s poetics. Pass will give a second public reading Thursday, February 28 at the University of Victoria, HSD A264 at 1:00pm.
