About the event

Presented by St. Andrews Heritage Centre: St. Andrews Reads! Sarah Ens reads "Flyway"

This week Sarah Ens shares part of her beautiful long poem "Flyway". This Meditation on the impact of human and ecological trauma explores the cost of survival for three generations of women living between empires. Writing from within the disappearing tallgrass prairie, Sarah Ens follows connections between the Russian Mennonite diaspora and the disrupted migratory patterns of grassland birds. Drawing on family history, eco-poetics, and the rich tradition of the Canadian long poem, Flyway migrates along pathways of geography and the heart to grapple with complexities of home.
