Literary Cabaret: Summer Writers - Chapter 1
Advertisement
Location: CLVB '33
Join us for an invigorating evening of poetry and prose at this Literary Cabaret, a sharing of works in the Summer Writers residency at Banff Centre. Across three nights, explore intimate readings of fresh contemporary literature by participants and faculty mentors.
Running for two weeks, Summer Writers is one of Banff Centre’s most popular open-genre Literary residencies, attracting participants working across fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and hybrid forms to dive into works-in-progress under the gorgeous Rocky Mountain sun.
This chapter is hosted by Bellamy, a legendary figure in contemporary American writing, known for her radical, intimate, and influential contributions to poetry, nonfiction, and art criticism. She has published a dozen books, including—with the publisher Semiotext(e)—Bee Reaved, When the Sick Rule the World, and The Letters of Mina Harker.
Enjoy a drink from the bar and immerse yourself in a vibrant literary atmosphere. Doors open at 6:15 p.m., with readings starting at 7 p.m. Afterward, mingle with the writers and faculty until 9:30 p.m.
Don’t miss this chance to discover the books of tomorrow.
Literary Arts is generously supported by the Flanagan Foundation and Fondation David R. Graham.
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity is excited to bring together world-renowned musicians, artists, and writers, as well as passionate audiences for the 2026 Banff Centre Summer Arts Festival.
