We are absolutely thrilled to announce our first reading of this season -- the first season in a couple of years for The Reading Series at St. Jerome's!
Our theme for this year is Coming Back/Home. And what better way to kick it off than to welcome an author who is one of our own: an alumna of UWaterloo who published her first book of poems with Brick last Septmber.
Manahil Bandukwala will be reading for us on Friday 21 October at 4:30pm in SJ2 1002.
The reading is free and all are welcome. Hope to see you there! And please spread the word!

artist originally from Pakistan and now settled in Canada. In 2021, she was
