Institute for Leadership Series Presents Michael Ondtaaje at Angelico Concert Hall, Dominican University
Date: Wednesday, April 17, 2024
Time: 7:00pm - 8:00pm
From one of the most influential writers of his generation, a gorgeously surprising poetry collection about memory, history, and the act of looking back.
Following several of his internationally acclaimed novels, A Year of Last Things is Michael Ondaatje’s long-awaited return to poetry. In pieces that are sometimes witty, sometimes moving, and always wise, we journey back through time by way of alchemical leaps, unearthing writings by revered masters, moments of shared tenderness, and the abandoned landscapes we hold on to to rediscover the influence of every border crossed.
MICHAEL ONDAATJE is the author of seven novels, a memoir, a nonfiction book on film, and several books of poetry. His novel The English Patient won the Booker Prize in 1992 and became a major motion picture that won nine Academy Awards, including Best Film; Anil's Ghost won the Irish Times International Fiction Prize, the Scotiabank Giller Prize, and the Prix Médicis. Born in Sri Lanka, Michael Ondaatje now lives in Toronto.
The cost is $40 per person and includes a ticket, plus his book "A Year of Last Things." Please visit the above website to purchase your online tickets.
