“We’re so pleased to feature these books this upcoming season of Toronto Lit Up,” says Ayesha Chatterjee, Toronto Lit Up committee member. “The books represent, in a small way, the powerful voices of this city in a range of genres and perspectives, touching upon, among other things, the immigrant experience from a child’s perspective, and the very topical subject of restaurants and how the pandemic is changing them. As a poet, I’m particularly delighted at the fact that poetry is well represented in the lineup,” she adds.
The Toronto Lit Up committee is made up of Ayesha Chatterjee (past president, League of Canadian Poets), Alison Jones (Quill and Quire) and Hazel Millar (Literary Press Group).
Toronto Lit Up is produced with the support of the City of Toronto through Toronto Arts Council.
