SUMMARY:Breathing Space / Reprendre Son Souffle
DESCRIPTION:Breathing Space is a summer evening series for short readings and performances in any language. In-progress\, experimental\, or unfinished work is welcome\, new collaborative work is enthusiastically encouraged\, trying things out is invited. What we hope is to create room to be unsure and that be okay. \nThere will be a mix of scheduled readers\, and six sign-up spots available on the day. Readings will be approximately 5 minutes. \nHosted by Aaron Boothby & Rachel McCrum. \n// \nReprendre son souffle est une série de lectures et de performances qui a lieu durant l’été. Qu’elle que soit la langue\, les créations en chantier ou en cours d’écriture sont les bienvenues. Et les collaborations inédites sont vivement encouragées. On veut créer un espace où il est permis d’essayer des choses\, où l’incertitude et le risque ont leur place. \nIl y aura un mélange de poètes invité.e.s et d’inscriptions le jour même. Les lectures dureront environ 5 minutes. \nVenez avec des ami.e.s pour participer\, écouter\, faire des rencontres. On a hâte! \nAnimé par Aaron Boothby & Rachel McCrum

SUMMARY:Staceyann Chin\, Shanice Nicole & Kalmunity @ Suoni Per Il Popolo
DESCRIPTION:Suoni Per Il Popolo\, Protests and Pedagogy & CKUT 90.3FM present: \nWhen listening to Jamaican-born\, Brooklyn-living\, woman-loving\, writer/poet\, political activist\, performance artist and single mama Staceyann Chin\, it’s hard not to be moved by the sound of her voice. Chin’s dynamic cadence has served her well\, whether on stage at New York’s storied spoken-word spot the Nuyorican Cafe\, on Broadway as an original performer on Def Poetry Jam or during any one of her one-woman\, autobiographical shows. \nShanice Nicole is a Black feminist educator\, facilitator\, writer\, and (out)spoken word artist. Her writing and work intimately explores experiences of race\, health\, sexuality\, oppression\, and freedom – all of which form the many layers of her Black womanhood. She believes that everyone has the power to make change and the words of her favourite poet Maya Angelou resonate deeply\, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better\, do better.” \nKalmunity is Canada’s largest and longest running black arts & improv collective of multi-disciplined\, linguistic & cultural creatives boasting a local membership of over 60 creatives that was founded in 2003 by Jahsun & directed by Preach Ankobia. \nwww.suoniperilpopolo.org\nInstagram: @suoniperilpopolo\nTwitter: SuoniPopolo

SUMMARY:Write The Body Electric: A Creative Process Workshop for Writers in All Genres
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Leader: Stacey Engels \nCost: $160 for QWF members; $190 for non-members \nCost of QWF membership (annual) plus workshop: $200 \nPayment is due within one week of registration to confirm your spot. Please review our cancellation policy. \nFor more information\, or to register: (514) 933-0878 or workshops@qwf.org \n* \nThis two-session course is open to writers in all genres. \nWhether you have a specific writing goal or are playing with the puzzle pieces of a new project\, this class will provide strategies for developing good work habits\, honing your curiosity and finding inspiration everywhere–without and within. \nOver the two Saturday sessions\, we will learn to find the sweet spot between discipline and freedom. We aim to break the boundaries that stand between us and our true innovative capacities\, and develop the boundaries that safeguard and sustain a regular writing practice. \nIn each session\, we will discuss selected writings in different genres\, drawing on these and non-writing media for inspiration in creative experiments. We will play with colour\, sound\, rhythm\, and form to ignite the senses and expand our understanding of what’s possible in writing\, before diving into prompts and exercises. \nWe will also borrow from meditation techniques to focus our concentration\, explore our preconceptions about time\, and ally ourselves with our bodies as sources of information and inspiration. \nWith practice\, using the techniques shared in this course\, participants will learn to maximize their available time\, bypass the inner critic\, and tap into inspiration\, innovation\, and authenticity every time they sit down to write.

SUMMARY:Saul Williams + Fronds (Kaie Kellough / Jason Sharp) @ Suoni Per Il Popolo
DESCRIPTION:Suoni Per Il Popolo\, Innovations en concert & CKUT 90.3FM present: \nSaul Williams is a rapper\, musician\, poet\, writer\, and actor who engages each of these forms equally\, with both aggression and compassion. He has been breaking ground since his debut album\, Amethyst Rock Star\, was released in 2001. Williams’ endlessly imaginative vision and voice take on a new life in his latest multimedia project MartyrLoserKing\, a modern day parable of a Burundian hacker who sparks a revolution by hacking NASA. While the incarnations and labels of poetry and the arts more generally have metamorphosed over time\, and his own output has bounced between creative spheres\, Williams still prefers to define himself first and foremost as a poet. \nFronds is a collaborative work for multiple instruments and voices. It is an acoustic and electronic sound processor with large-format\, projected typographic design. Borrowing from ecopoetics and text collage\, this work expresses deep concern for the state of our planet and the precariousness of our existence. \nfeaturing:\nKaie Kellough – Voice\nTanya Evanson – Voice\nJason Sharp – Bass Saxophone & Electronics\nJoe Grass – Pedal Steel Guitar\nStefan Schneider – Drum Kit\nKevin Lo – Visual Design \nKaie Kellough and Jason sharp have collaborated since 2011. They have performed internationally in experimental music\, literary\, and jazz milieus. Their work embraces a maximalist sprawl across forms\, engaging disparate ideas and reconciling contradictions. Kellough-Sharp incorporate visual projections with oft-unreadable text\, electronic with acoustic sound\, improvisation with composition\, and performative immediacy with noisome abstraction. \nwww.suoniperilpopolo.org\nInstagram: @suoniperilpopolo\nTwitter: SuoniPopolo

SUMMARY:Poetry Workshop: Fable and Fabulation
DESCRIPTION:Poetry Workshop co-led by Stephanie Yorke and John Wall Barger \nEnrollment: $35 each.\nTo register contact Stephanie (syorkefreelanceediting [at] gmail.com) or John (johnwallbarger [at] gmail.com)\nLimited enrollment.\nhttps://johnwallbarger.com/poetry-workshop-fable-and-fabulation/ \nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:\nPlayful writing exercises and enthusiastic discussion come together in this team-led workshop by poets Stephanie Yorke and John Wall Barger. Why do so many poets turn to myth and fable in their poetry? And why are some old stories dusty and boring\, while others still feel vital and rich? From Grimm to Gilgamesh\, from Dante to the Tibetan Book of the Dead — in this workshop\, participants will have the chance to engage with ancient myths that continue to inspire contemporary poets to create their own original writings. \nFACILITATORS:\nStephanie Yorke has published one poetry collection\, Both Boys Climb Trees They Can’t Climb Down (Signature Editions\, 2012)\, and her poems appear in journals including The Fiddlehead\, Grain\, PRISM international\, and The Malahat Review. She also writes essays about poetry and literature\, and holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford. \nJohn Wall Barger’s poems appear in American Poetry Review\, Rattle\, The Awl\, The Cincinnati Review\, Poetry Ireland Review\, and Best of the Best Canadian Poetry. His poem\, “Smog Mother\,” was co-winner of The Malahat Review’s 2017 Long Poem Prize. His fourth book\, The Mean Game\, is coming out with Palimpsest Press in spring 2019. He is an editor for Painted Bride Quarterly.

SUMMARY:Irreversible Entanglements @ Suoni Per Il Popolo
DESCRIPTION:Suoni Per Il Popolo & CKUT 90.3FM present \nIrreversible Entanglements: A Philadelphia free-jazz poetry band that came together in 2015 to perform at a Musicians Against Police Brutality concert. Now an internationally touring phenomenon\, their blend of liberation sounds and direct\, visceral lyrics breathes new life into the legacy of the fusion of poetry and Black music. The dynamic band of exciting\, experimental artists (Keir Neuringer – alto saxophone\, Aquiles Navarro – trumpet\, Luke Stewart – double bass\, Tcheser Holmes – drums) skillfully reacts to poet Camae Ayewa’s (a.k.a. Moor Mother) powerful lyricism. \nTomeka Reid & Moor Mother: Recently described as a “New Jazz Power Source” by the New York Times\, cellist and composer Tomeka Reid emerged as one of the most original\, versatile\, and curious musicians in the Chicago’s bustling jazz and improvised music community over the last decade. Now based in New York\, her distinctive melodic sensibility\, usually braided to a strong sense of groove\, has been featured in many distinguished ensembles over the years. \nA personal and political project with a DIY mindset\, Moor Mother transgresses fictional aesthetic borders between noise\, hip hop and punk rock to create afrofuturist liberation music. \nwww.suoniperilpopolo.org\nInstagram: @suoniperilpopolo\nTwitter: SuoniPopolo

SUMMARY:Write The Body Electric: A Creative Process Workshop for Writers in All Genres
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Leader: Stacey Engels \nCost: $160 for QWF members; $190 for non-members \nCost of QWF membership (annual) plus workshop: $200 \nPayment is due within one week of registration to confirm your spot. Please review our cancellation policy. \nFor more information\, or to register: (514) 933-0878 or workshops@qwf.org \n* \nThis two-session course is open to writers in all genres. \nWhether you have a specific writing goal or are playing with the puzzle pieces of a new project\, this class will provide strategies for developing good work habits\, honing your curiosity and finding inspiration everywhere–without and within. \nOver the two Saturday sessions\, we will learn to find the sweet spot between discipline and freedom. We aim to break the boundaries that stand between us and our true innovative capacities\, and develop the boundaries that safeguard and sustain a regular writing practice. \nIn each session\, we will discuss selected writings in different genres\, drawing on these and non-writing media for inspiration in creative experiments. We will play with colour\, sound\, rhythm\, and form to ignite the senses and expand our understanding of what’s possible in writing\, before diving into prompts and exercises. \nWe will also borrow from meditation techniques to focus our concentration\, explore our preconceptions about time\, and ally ourselves with our bodies as sources of information and inspiration. \nWith practice\, using the techniques shared in this course\, participants will learn to maximize their available time\, bypass the inner critic\, and tap into inspiration\, innovation\, and authenticity every time they sit down to write.

SUMMARY:One Poem\, Many Voices: A Workshop on Writing Collaboratively
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is FREE and OPEN TO ALL. Registration is NOT required. \nCollaborating in the creation of a poem connects us deeply with each other. The process is always full of surprises — dynamic\, inventive\, and fun. \nIn collaboration\, we get to see how people really understand our words. They take them up and go places with them\, unexpected places! Through listening and responding\, we open doors we didn’t know were there: doors in our selves\, in our perceptions\, in each other. \nThis workshop engages participants in a variety of approaches to writing poems collaboratively. \nYour workshop guides\, Mary di Michele and Susan Gillis\, have more than a decade of experience in writing poetry collaboratively. In addition to their active individual practices\, they have written and published together as members of Yoko’s Dogs since 2006. Susan’s fourth book of poetry\, Yellow Crane\, appeared in 2018. Mary’s twelfth book and latest collection of poetry\, Bicycle Thieves\, was published with ECW in 2017. \nThis event is taking place on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka. \nGenerously supported by the Community Cultural Action Fund (CCAF) of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
