We are delighted to invite you for our first event of the season with acclaimed Canadian poet Gary Geddes, who will give an in-person reading and lead an in-person workshop in late October.
ABOUT THE POET
Geddes is the recipient of many national and international literary awards, such as the E.J. Pratt Prize, the Commonwealth Poetry Prize (Americas Region), and the Gabriela Mistral Prize (Chile). In both a reading from older and newer work and a workshop considering the meeting points between criticism and creative practice, Geddes will draw from The Ventriloquist, featuring powerful anti-war narratives, and The Oysters I Bring to Banquets, with its ludic poems about building a greenhouse and elegies for lost friends and disappearing species.
VENUE: Birks Reading Room, McGill University
READING: Wednesday, October 26 | 3:30-5:30
WORKSHOP: Friday, October 28 | 3:30-5:30
