"A Wondrous Thing Happened on the Way to Dystopia"

Dr. Richard Lemm is retiring this year, and the UPEI English Department is delighted to host his “Last Lecture.” 

Richard's more than three-decade career here has gone so far beyond his teaching of creative writing, environmental literature, and Canadian Literature in the University classroom: to his own creative works, to his mentoring of generations of new Island writers, and to his support for visiting writers and for the creative life of the Island generally. Come help us celebrate this truly wondrous career!
