Our lineup of talented writers will share their work in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Come sip on some coffee, meet fellow book lovers, and immerse yourself in a world of words. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to support local artists and indulge in the magic of storytelling.

Maharaj immigrated to Canada from Trinidad in the 1990s, and settled in Ajax, Ontario, where he taught high school and co-founded a literary magazine, LICHEN. He has been a writer-in-residence at the Toronto Reference Library, the University of the West Indies, and the University of New Brunswick. Apart from his novels and collections of short stories, he has published in various literary journals and anthologies; written reviews and articles for The Washington Post, The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, and others; written the radio series “Malcolm and Alvin” for CBC Radio; and co-written a screenplay for the film Malini.

He is the 2021 recipient of Canada’s Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship and is currently completing doctoral work on the nuances of the Queeribbean quotidian at McMaster University. His writing has been published in The Puritan, Kola, SX Salon, Hamilton Arts and Letters, Montreal Writes and more. He lives in Hamilton, Ontario.
