On Edge Reading Series: Gregory Scofield - Screening of Singing Home the Bones
Poet, non-fiction writer, activist and community worker Gregory Scofield has striven all his life to piece together his fractured identity. Brought up by Métis relatives after being separated from his mother at age five, Scofield much later in life is astounded to discover his paternal ancestry. His ethnicity, his sexuality, his sense of family have all informed his award-winning poetry. "Scofield is our country's Aboriginal Leonard Cohen," says Joseph Boyden.
