Jane Urquhart’s 150th-birthday gift to Canada is a collection of fifty short vignettes that each tell a story of who we are through a poetic examination of a single Canadian object – everything from a Nobel Peace Prize medal to an Innu tea doll. Join the author as she shares some of these stories and how the journey of writing this book influenced her own understanding of identity. 
 
Ms Urquhart’s award-winning novels include The Whirlpool, Away, The Underpainter and The Stone Carvers. She has also published a collection of short stories and four books of poetry.
