On Tuesday, March 23, Tree will feature poet Sina Queyras at the Ottawa Arts Court. The evening will begin at 8pm, and preceding the reading from 6:45-7:45 Terry Ann Carter will host a workshop for emerging writers. After the featured reader, there will be a panel discussion on "Poetic Meaning." Panelists will be Erin Moure, Stephen Brockwell, Rob Winger and Sina Queyras. A question and answer period will follow.
Sina Queyras grew up on the road in western Canada and she has since lived on Vancouver Island, and in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, New York, Philadelphia and Calgary, where she was Markin Flanagan Writer in Residence. She is the author most recently of Unleashed (BookThug), a selection of posts from the first four years of her blog. Her previous collection of poetry, Expressway (Coach House 2009) was nominated for a Governor General’s Award, and a selection from that book won Gold in the National Magazine Awards. Lemon Hound (Coach House 2006) won a Lambda Award and the Pat Lowther Award. In 2005 she edited Open Field: 30 Contemporary Canadian Poets, for Persea Books. She is contributing editor at Drunken Boat where she has curated folios on Conceptual Writing and Visual Poetry. She has taught creative writing at Rutgers, Haverford and Concordia University in Montreal where she currently resides.
Terry Ann Carter's third workshop (Ladies Night Out) will feature one poem from each P.K. Page, Louise Bogan and Marianne Moore to poke, prod, and inspire our own writing.
