Writer Emily Davidson, from Saint John, will read from Lift on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at 7 p.m. at the BMO Theatre, Saint John Theatre Company.
The debut collection of New Brunswick poet Emily Davidson, Lift is an examination of how to be alive without being adrift. Loosely narrative, the collection spans two Canadian coasts, its speaker a transplant from Atlantic to Pacific.

Her fiction has appeared in Grain and Maisonneuve. Ms. Davidson holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of British Columbia, and a BA in English from UNB.
