Rachel Rose is author of the MQUP book of poetry Giving My Body to Science. Other MQUP authors on hand will include event co-organizer, Shelly Boyd, author of Garden Plots, Canadian Women Writers and Their Literary Gardens and Nathalie Cooke, author of What's to Eat, Entrées in Canadian Food History.The symposium will coincide with the launch of the public art exhibition “Artful Fare: Conversations About Food” featuring the collaborative art projects of KPU Fine Arts and English students as they engage in creative-critical dialogues about Canadian poetry.
