Really enjoyed this reading and presentation yesterday by Jon Tattrie on Charles R. Saunders and Africville, with something of a memorial to Eddie Carvery as well, and talking about how his biography of Saunders came to be written.

The event also included some incredible readings by the current and former Charles R. Saunders Prize winners Theo Feehan-Peters (2024), Nailah Tataa (2025), and Norman Ho (2026), introduced by
the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia's Linda Hudson.

Leading up to TriCon, we're reading Saundersโ€™ iconic Sword & Soul epic, Imaro, and discussing on the TriCon discord. Jon Tattrie will lead a discussion the weekend of the con! Past Saunders Prize winners will also read there. tricon-halifax.com/events/
