A Night in Tasmania with Richard Lemm

Lemm's presentation will include a slideshow and poems he wrote while in Tasmania. His residency was part of the annual PEI-Tasmania writer-in-residence exchange.

The Tasmanian Writers' Centre is the counterpart down under, with additional support for Dr. Lemm's residency from the Lord Mayor of Hobart, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the P.E.I. Council of the Arts.
