Salon of the Refused – Bright Room
TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/salon-of-the-refused-tickets-812653016047
A celebration of writing of power and beauty by local authors that experienced rejection before finding its audience.
You are invited to attend a literary event that takes its inspiration from the 1863 Salon des Refuses. It is a celebration of writing that was initially rejected. It is also a celebration of marginalized communities who often feel rejected by mainstream society. The authors will present works of poetry or prose that went unrecognized when first submitted to either a literary journal or competition but whose power and beauty will be evident to those in attendance.
For more information, contact the organizer, Wayne Johnston, at wajohnst@uoguelph.ca.
Generous support for this event has been received from Tower Poetry Society, Wolsak & Wynn and Hamilton Mountain Writers’ Guild.
