The Fraser Canyon’s intense geography may have sparked her interest in exploring the fluidity with which one may travel between the practical and the sacred, reconciling the hot-breath intimacy of living and dying and all that is between. Wild Sage Press published Lorna’s collaboratively written play We’re Already Home, in 2014. Lorna has an MFA from UBCO and is finishing the final draft of her first novel. Space is limited, so participants are advised to register early. Registration can be completed on-line
