SUMMARY:Emerging Writers Residency: Poetry 2023
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis two-week writing program supports new writers in poetry at varying levels of accomplishment\, from not-yet-published writers to those with one published book. In this workshop-based residency\, you will work closely with our faculty\, Suzanne Zelazo\, Sharanpal Ruprai\, and professional guest Helen Hajnoczky\, to expand your practice and focus on improving writing skills. \nThe Emerging Writers Residency is an energizing\, transformative experience\, designed to help you take your writing to a new level. This residency is a perfect entry point into Banff Centre’s full suite of Literary Arts programs\, offering new writers the opportunity to work on a portion of a manuscript in a workshop setting directly with faculty. The program will help you build your critical vocabulary\, making you better critics of your own and others’ work. You will also learn more about the craft of writing\, and about the conventions and possibilities for innovation in poetry. \nWhat does the program offer?\nThis two-week residency provides thematic teaching from faculty members and professional guests\, Q&A sessions\, public readings\, and one-on-one workshopping. Mentors will discuss ideas\, experiences\, and obstacles that you may be encountering with your writing from across poetic genres. \nIn addition to a single room\, and a small private studio\, you will be surrounded by a community of artistic peers. The flexible program format allows you to choose the amount of support you are looking for. All program elements are optional. \nWho should apply?\nAny new writer of poetry interested in structured feedback from faculty and fellow participants will benefit from this program. The program is open to writers with no publications\, a few publications\, or even a first book. \n*Financial Aid available. \nProgram Dates: September 25 – October 06\, 2023\nApplication Deadline: June 14\, 2023\nLearn more and apply online: http://bit.ly/3ilinBK
