Bruce Cockburn, Camilla Gibb, David Bezmozgis for PEN Canada at Freedom to Read - BookShorts Video
www.BookShorts.com -- Freedom to read means a great deal to people around the world, especially in times of conflict and war. This is why PEN Canada asked these award-winning writers and musicians from Canada and beyond to explore what it means to "bear witness." Presented in partnership with the Toronto Public Library, this Freedom to Read Week event (part of Keep Toronto Reading) was an amazing evening.
Titled “Inventory: Writers Tracking Conflict and War”, award-winning and nominated Canadian writers David Bezmozgis, Dionne Brand, Bernice Eisenstein, Camilla Gibb, Rawi Hage and Ann-Marie MacDonald joined PEN Canada writer in exile Senthil Ratnasabapathy, Canadian folk legend Bruce Cockburn and rapper Shad. Carol Off, host of CBC Radio’s “As It Happens”, served as host.
