9 Sept 2017 – Dunedin Lit Fest

Words in the Woods – The Dunedin Literary Festival
Saturday, September 9th, 2017
Gates open at 11 AM

Join Nino and the Great Lake Swimmers, along with Alison Pick, Trevor Cole, Roo Borson, Andrew Pyper, Kate Hilton, Antanas Sileika, Michael Fraser, and more.

The Dunedin Literary Festival returns this year promising more of everything: more authors, more music, more discussions, more activities, more vendors, and more walks in the park. An all inclusive, all-ages, one-day family affair that celebrates Canadian arts & literature, music, food, and community in the hopes of inspiring and educating readers of all ages.

This year’s festival will include a stellar line-up of award-winning Canadian authors, musicians, and poets, including Nino Ricci, Claire Cameron, Catherine Bush, Cecily Ross, Alison Pick, Brent Preston, Trevor Cole, Andrew Pyper, and Antanas Sileika.

11 AM – AN ONSTAGE INTERVIEW WITH ANTANAS SILEIKA

Antanas Sileika, author of Underground and, most recently, The Barefoot Bingo Caller, talks with Nino about poker, books, and the writing life. Recently retired as the Director of the Humber School for Writers and a frequent contributor to the literary press, Antanas is equally accomplished as both writer and literary commentator.
