Should you stay or should you go? In the final episode of our series, poet and playwright Talya Rubin and fiction writer Tom Abray talk about the constant push and pull of Montreal, which simultaneously draws them in and spits them out. Will they end up leaving the island? Listen to find out, and to hear readings from both writers. Tom Abray, the author of Pollen (2011) and Where I Wanted to Be (2017), both from DC Books, grew up near Strathroy, Ontario, but has lived in Montreal since 1989. Poet, playwright and theatre creator/performer, Talya Rubin’s poetry has garnered the Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers. She’s the author of Leaving the Island, published by Véhicule Press’s poetry imprint Signal in 2015.
