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:The Sleeping Car Porter (Violet Hour Book Club)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next meeting of the Violet Hour Book Club\, a reading group devoted to classic and contemporary works of LGBTQ literature. The book we will be discussing is The Sleeping Car Porter (2022) by Suzette Mayr\, winner of the 2022 Giller Prize. The Sleeping Car Porter brings to life an important part of Black history in North America\, from the perspective of a queer man living in a culture that renders him invisible in two ways. Affecting\, imaginative\, and visceral enough that you’ll feel the rocking of the train\, The Sleeping Car Porter is a stunning accomplishment.
