Invite Joanna to your book club
Get in touch if you'd like Joanna to join your book club online.
You can also use these book club questions to spark discussion about Joanna's latest poetry book, Endlings, which is all about extinct animals.
It wouldn't happen without them
Joanna is very grateful to all the volunteers and venues who have hosted and helped her. She also very much appreciates the financial support of the Government of Yukon Touring Artist Fund, the Canada Council for the Arts, the League of Canadian Poets and The Writers' Union of Canada for many of these events.
