Good conversations — with writer and poet Ian WIlliams (CBC Massey Lecture 5)
What makes a good conversation? And do good conversations have anything in common? Ian Williams studies his daily conversations and explores how our age has left many people in what he calls a "drought of loving voices." In searching for conversations that feel transcendent, not transactional, he argues that in great conversations, the content is less important than the interaction: the sincerity and openness of the engagement. Good conversation is an art, and you don't know how it will change you by the time it ends.The CBC Massey Lecture series "What I mean to say — remaking conversation in our time" was recorded live across Canada in November 2024. The fifth lecture Good conversations took place in Toronto, Ontario.SpeakersIan WilliamsPoet and author, Reproduction (Scotiabank Giller Award winner), Disorientation.

Who can speak for whom to whom about what? — with writer and poet Ian Williams (CBC Massey Lecture 4)
