SUMMARY:Mountain Writing - Self Directed Residency 2023
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nThe Self-Directed Mountain Writing program is a three-week residency for four established writers working in any genre (fiction\, nonfiction\, journalism\, or poetry)\, on mountain narratives\, environmental journalism\, stories of adventure\, or projects with climbing or mountaineering themes. \nWith a strong emphasis on literary quality\, interior journeys of exploration and the psychology of extreme endeavours are as much a focus as the physical accomplishments involved. \nWriters will enjoy dedicated\, uninterrupted writing time in a spectacular mountain setting\, and the communality of a small group of peers from around the world. \nThis program overlaps with the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival where visiting authors\, editors\, or publishers will offer further enrichment and inspiration. \nWhat does the program offer? \nParticipants will be encouraged to meet regularly to share work and projects for independent peer review and community support. During the program\, once weekly\, published guest speakers will present to the participants on topics and themes relevant to the program. \nWriters will be allocated a Leighton Artist Studio for personal use. \nWho should apply? \nEstablished writers with a proven publication record seeking a period of dedicated time to work on a project in the mountain writing genre. \nWe welcome writers from all backgrounds\, as well as gender identities and expressions. \nApplication Deadline: August 02\, 2023\nProgram Dates: October 25 – November 15\, 2023\nLearn more and apply online: https://bit.ly/3OMzGcW\nFinancial Aid is available for this program.

SUMMARY:Writers Read x Kathryn Mockler
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, November 1st at 12pm in MB9C (1600 Rue de Maisonneuve Ouest)\, Kathryn Mockler will join us to read from and discuss her newest collection\, Anecdotes (2023).  Kathryn Mocker is the author of five books of poetry. She co-edited the print anthology Watch Your Head: Writers and Artists Respond to the Climate Crisis (2020) and is the publisher of the Watch Your Head website. She runs Send My Love to Anyone\, a literary newsletter\, and is an assistant professor at the University of Victoria. Anecdotes is a hybrid collection written in four parts\, now more relevant than ever\, examining the pressing realities of sexual violence\, abuse\, and environmental collapse. Anecdotes has been described as “an instant ‘post hope’ classic” and a “collection of coming-of-age stories for late stage capitalism.” A question and answer period will then follow the reading.\nWriters 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.\nThis event is free and open to all.
