E67 - Kelly Kaur - Author of Letters to Singapore

EPISODE 67 - More than 20 years ago, Kelly Kaur was a poet. But, as is usually the case with aspiring writers, she also got plenty of rejection. So much so that she eventually let her literary ambitions slide to the background. Life happened. She concentrated on family and her career at Mount Royal University, where she has been teaching in the English department.Like Simran, Kaur left Singapore to avoid an arranged marriage. She attended the University of Calgary and experienced a similar fish-out-of-water culture shock when it came to life in Alberta. “When the Griffin mission goes up to the moon, there’s going to be a NASA rover that is going up,” she said. “Peralta is also sending the books and the novels. They are going to go up on that same capsule at the same time. They stay up in the moon forever, these analogue/digital little batteries that will just be up there until someone finds them or not.”Article:  Writer Kelly Kaur bases novel on experiences as a newcomer to CalgaryAffiliate Book Link: Letters to Singapore on Amazon___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Have a podcast and need a great website?
