On July 9th, join us for an evening of poetry and conversation with Samantha Nock and Rachael Moorthy, two writers who carry the ache and beauty of in-between places, who write toward home, memory, longing, and land.

Together, their voices honour the layered nature of identity, carrying history in the body, grieving, being shaped by land and ancestry, and living inside questions that don’t always need answers.

Join us for the Opening Gala of Word Vancouver at the Vancouver Public Library with MC Chris Bose, the 2025 Indigenous Storyteller in Residence.
