Reading: December 2nd

The Calgary Renaissance is launching December 2nd in Calgary (of course) at Pages on Kensington at 7pm (meet us in the basement!). I’ll be reading along with Christian Bok, Weyman Chan, Aaron Giovannone, Helen Hajnoczky, Naomi K. Lewis, Jani Krulc, Nikki Sheppy, Natalie Simpson, Emily Ursuliak, and Andrew Wedderburn. The event is free, open to the public, and should be a good time. Hope to see you there!

Edited by derek beaulieu and rob mclennan, and published by Ottawa’s Chaudiere Books, The Calgary Renaissance highlights some of the diverse and astonishing experimental poetry and fiction that has emerged out of the past two decades of Calgary writing. An essential portrait of some of the most engaged and radical of Canadian writing and writers from one of the country’s most important literary centres.
