Literary Cabaret: Summer Writers - Chapter 1

Literary Cabaret: Summer Writers - Chapter 1, located in Banff in the Canadian Rockies, offers an intimate evening of live contemporary writing with a creative boost. Guests settle into an invigorating night of poetry and prose as participants in the two-week Summer Writers residency share works-in-progress alongside their faculty mentors. Across three evenings, the cabaret format keeps readings close-up and personal, inviting travellers to experience new fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and hybrid forms as they emerge. This chapter is hosted by Bellamy, a legendary figure in contemporary American writing whose radical, intimate work in poetry, nonfiction, and art criticism has shaped countless readers and artists. With more than a dozen books to her name, including Bee Reaved, When the Sick Rule the World, and The Letters of Mina Harker, her presence adds depth and inspiration to this Rocky Mountain literary gathering.
