Reading and Workshop with Gary Geddes

Climate, War & Oysters

Please join Poetry Matters and The League of Canadian Poets for a two-part event with acclaimed political poet, non-fiction writer, and playwright Gary Geddes.

Gary Geddes is the recipient of many national and international literary awards, such as the E.J. Pratt Prize, the Commonwealth Poetry Prize (Americas Region), and the Gabriela Mistral Prize (Chile). In both a reading from older and newer work and a workshop considering the meeting points between criticism and creative practice, Geddes will draw from The Ventriloquist, featuring powerful anti-war narratives, and The Oysters I Bring to Banquets, with its ludic poems about building a greenhouse and elegies for lost friends and disappearing species.

Reading:
Wednesday, October 26, 3:30-5:30 PM

Workshop on Creative and Critical Practice:
Friday, October 28, 3:30-5:30 PM

In-Person | Birks Reading Room, McGill University
