Julie McIsaac

Simcoe Author Talk Series

Penetanguishene Public Library is your host as we gather for an evening of conversation with author Julie McIsaac.

About Julie McIsaac:
Julie McIsaac is a writer, artist, maker, and momma with years of experience teaching writing at advanced levels. She's worked in Hamilton, Toronto, Montreal and New York City. While living in NYC, she hosted several salons in her home and loved bringing together creative people in informal spaces. That's one of the reasons she started hosting writing workshops in Hamilton.

About Les Filles Du Roi:

Les Filles du Roi (The King’s Daughters), a gorgeous new trilingual musical written in English, French, and Kanien´kéha (Mohawk), is the powerful story of Kateri, a young Kanien´kehá:ka girl, and her brother Jean-Baptiste, whose lives are disrupted upon the arrival of les filles due roi in 1665. They forge an unlikely relationship with young fille Marie-Jeanne Lespérance, whose dreams of a new life are more complicated than she could have imagined. Over the course of a year, Kanien´kehá:ka, French and English journeys collide, setting the stage for the Canada we know today. Payette’s music connects the heartbeat of the drum and the soaring voices of our female ancestors in a thrilling contemporary score, weaving three languages and rivalling the beauty of Canada’s most stunning landscapes.

Simcoe Author Talk Series: The Barrie Public Library has joined literary forces with ten other libraries (Clearview, Collingwood, Essa, Innisfil ideaLab, Midland, New Tecumseth, Penetanguishene, Ramara, Springwater, and Wasaga) to offer a 2022 virtual author talk series.
