Literary Cabaret: Summer Writers - Chapter 2

Literary Cabaret: Summer Writers - Chapter 2, located in Banff in the Canadian Rockies, offers an intimate evening of live readings that spark inspiration. Across three nights at 107 Tunnel Mountain Dr, Banff, AB T1L 1H5, Canada, guests settle into a relaxed cabaret setting to hear fresh poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and hybrid work from participants in Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity’s Summer Writers residency. The atmosphere is informal yet focused, inviting listeners to connect closely with each voice. This chapter is hosted by Abel, an internationally recognized Indigenous writer whose novel Empty Spaces received both the Governor General’s Award for fiction and the Banff Mountain Book Award. Travellers gain rare insight into works-in-progress shaped under the Rocky Mountain sky, and leave with a deeper appreciation for contemporary storytelling and the creative process.
