Hope Matters: An Evening with Lee Maracle and Columpa Bobb.

Writer and elder Lee Maracle and Columpa Bobb read from their upcoming work, Hope Matters. Lee Maracle is a member of the Stó:lō nation and one of the first Indigenous female authors to be published in Canada. With a career of over four decades, she has written award-winning books in a multitude of genres, including the recent My Conversations with Canadians. Jessie Award-winner and two time Dora Award-nominee Columpa Bobb has been an arts practitioner for twenty-four years as an actor, playwright, photographer, poet and teacher. Hope Matters, also co-written by Tania Carter, “is a collection of poetry focused on the journey of Indigenous people from colonial beginnings to reconciliation.” Written with her two daughters over years, Maracle says, “in the end our voice blended into a song of hope and reconciliation.” Presented in partnership with Massy Books.
