Writer Ivan E. Coyote Performs at the Owens
The Owens Art Gallery and Mount Allison’s Centre for Canadian Studies are proud to present a storytelling event that you won’t want to miss. In what promises to be an engaging and entertaining evening, Vancouver-based writer and storyteller Ivan E. Coyote will give a performance at the Owens in conjunction with the exhibition Told Untold, which will be on view from 5 March to 18 April.
Born and raised in Whitehorse, Coyote is the award-winning author of six collections of short stories, one novel, two CDs, and four short films. Her first love, however, is live storytelling, and over the last seventeen years she has become an audience favourite at music, poetry, spoken word, and writer’s festivals from Anchorage to Amsterdam. The Globe and Mail refers to Ivan as a natural-born storyteller and Ottawa X Press says, Coyote is to CanLit what k.d. lang is to country music: a beautifully odd fixture. She has been praised by the Toronto Star for her talent for sketching the bizarre in the everyday, and Quills Magazine writes that she has distinctive and persuasive voice, a flawless sense of pacing, and an impeccable sense of story.
Ivan Coyote will perform at the Owens Art Gallery on Friday, 12 March at 7:30PM. This event is free and all are invited to attend.
