Event Description
Made possible by Professional Investments, Kingston
"Sometimes I feel that I wasn’t born at all, rather sculpted and formed by the storms of my grandmother’s life."
— Michelle Good
Kingston WritersFest is thrilled to launch the 2026 Festival with an extraordinary evening featuring one of Canada’s most powerful literary voices: award-winning author Michelle Good, author of Five Little Indians. A co-production with Lodge Pole Arts Alliance, the event takes place on September 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Michelle will be joined on stage by legendary broadcaster Shelagh Rogers for an intimate conversation about her highly anticipated new novel, Eliza Sunshine, a sweeping family saga that traces three generations of Cree women bound together by story, survival, and the land itself.
We are also honored to feature an exclusive musical performance by acclaimed singer-songwriter Kym Gouchie.
The event will be hosted by Terri-Lynn Brennan, Executive Director, Lodge Pole Alliance for the Arts.
