A Writer’s Process: The Inside Story

A Writer’s Process: The Inside Story

Presented by The Hart House Literary & Library Committee

Is there a story inside the story you’re trying to write or a poem beneath the poem? What are the truths you want to share? We carry ourselves like onions with so many layers; the more access we have to the layers, the richer our work and our lives. In these 3 sessions, we’ll do exercises to tap into the truths we carry and might not even know are there. Get a read on the inside story; share it with yourself and perhaps others.

Thursday, March 1, 8 and 15, 2012
12-1:30pm
Open to all students and members of Hart House.
This series is full — registration is closed.

Echolocation

February 10th, 2012 · No Comments

Here’s a note from the editor of Echolocation Magazine:

Echolocation magazine would like to tell the Poet-in-Community community that our issue 12 deadline is fast approaching. Get in your poetry, prose, creative non-fiction, scripts, plays and artwork in by February 29, 2012. The journal is produced and run by the graduate students of the University of Toronto, and while we welcome submissions from everyone, Echolocation very much supports and benefits writers in the Toronto community.

As well, Echolocation is inviting entries for our 2012 poetry contest on the theme of revisions/revisiting. This is an exciting opportunity for a poet to have his or her poem produced as a limited edition letterpress broadside at Massey College. In lieu of a cash prize, the winner will receive 5 copies of the broadside and be invited to read at the launch. 5 runner-ups will have their poems appear in in a digital e-chapbook, which I hope to produce as a letterpress chapbook at a later date. The entry fee should be quite affordable for students at $12, and up to two poems can be submitted, up to a maximum of 50 lines each. Deadline is April 7, 2012.

Full guidelines can be found on our blog at http://www.echolocationmag.wordpress.com and at http://echolocationmag.submishmash.com/submit.

Good luck!
