Calling all Edmonton writers! As the sun goes down sooner, we invite you to join us for a workshop in Working with the Abyss.

About the Workshop

Approaching the untouchable with the same tactics I approach ugly Indigenous traumas. No topic should be off limits to artists. We just need vulnerability, empathy, and fancy f*cking pens!

About the Author

Daniel Poitras, a half-breed poet from the Paul First Nation, writes vicious Native poetry. He has been published in the Home and Away anthology 2009, The Malahat Review, Grain Magazine, featured reader in the Olive Reading series and included in the Edmonton Poetry Festival’s Poetry Moves on Transit program.

Please consider registering to let us know if you intend to participate. Registration is not mandatory and walk-ins are always welcome.
