Literary Cabaret: Spring Writers - Chapter 1

Location: CLVB '33
Doors open at: 6:15 p.m.

A new season of voices opens at Literary Cabaret.

Part of the Spring Writing Residency at Banff Centre, Chapter 1 features original work from this season’s writers-in-residence across genres, including poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and hybrid forms. Each chapter in the series presents a distinct lineup, offering a window into the breadth of practices gathered this spring.

The evening is hosted by poet and critic Vidyan Ravinthiran, born in Leeds to Sri Lankan Tamil parents. His debut collection Grun-tu-molani was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection, and The Million-petalled Flower of Being Here was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize. He will guide the program and close the evening with a reading from his own work.

Settle in with a drink from the bar, browse a curated selection of books from Pages, and experience the creative atmosphere of CLVB ’33.

Doors open at 6:15 p.m., with readings beginning at 7:00 p.m. Informal mingling continues until 9:30 p.m.

This event is free and all are welcome.
Age Restrictions: Ages 14 and over
