Writers Read presents Laurie Graham, Derek Beaulieu, and Jana Prikryl

Writers Read, a reading series based at Concordia University, is eager to feature a professional panel of outstanding writers: poet and publisher of Brick Magazine Laurie Graham, poet, publisher, anthologist and Banff’s poet laureate Derek Beaulieu, and poet and executive editor of the New York Review of Books Jana Prikryl. The panel will take place from 11am-1pm, in which Graham, Beaulieu, and Prikryl will discuss how to make a career through writing. From 1:00-2:30, light refreshments will be served as members from Concordia’s graduate literary journal, Headlight Anthology, perform a reading. Finally, from 2:30-5:00, Graham, Beaulieu, and Prikryl will read their own work. This event is free and open to all. If attendees can not be present for the whole event, they are welcome to attend as much as they can. 

Writers Read is part of Concordia University’s Creative Writing program and is supported by the Department of English and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Writers Read, directed by Professor Sina Queyras since 2011, invites renowned and emerging authors, both Canadian and international, to read from and discuss their work with students and local audiences. In addition to readings, the series includes Master Classes and professional developmental activities spanning the school year.
