SUMMARY:Munro Beattie Lecture with Ivan Coyote

Because sometimes we all just need a good crylaugh. Join writer and storyteller Ivan Coyote for a round of storytelling to call upon the joy in our queer lives and celebrate the strength and bravery it takes to live real life as a trans person right now. Bring your best hankie. \n\n\n\nIt will take place at 7pm on October 15 at the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre. No registration is required. \n\n\n\nIvan Coyote is a writer and storyteller. Born and raised in Whitehorse\, Yukon\, they are the author of thirteen books\, the creator of four films\, six stage shows\, and three albums that combine storytelling with music.

Coyote’s stories grapple with the complex and intensely personal topics of gender identity\, family\, class\, and queer liberation\, but always with a generous heart\, and a quick wit. Ivan’s stories manage to handle both the hilarious and the heartbreaking with reverence and compassion\, and remind us all of our own fallible and imperfect humanity\, while at the same time inspiring us to change the world. Ivan’s 13th book\, Care Of\, was released in June 2021 by McClelland and Stewart.
