Crossing the Line

For eight years, VFA has hosted authors from across Canada, and we've welcomed you to join us for a celebration of reading and writing. Our ninth annual festival, from October 16 to 20, 2024, will be much the same. As with last year, our festival will be a hybrid, offering in-person programming of regional authors, most offered by livestream for those viewing from home, as well as virtual programming of authors from around Canada. And make sure not to miss our pre-fest weekend on September 21-22, with workshops offered by four of our region's most exciting authors, and a festival launch reading the night of the 22nd. Save the date!

Victoria Festival of Authors

Celebrate with: Billy-Ray Belcourt | Eve Joseph | Erin Mouré

Metro Theatre

This year’s Griffin Prize-winning book, Victoria poet Eve Joseph’s Quarrels, is a collection of prose poems that trust in the logic of the illogical. Billy-Ray Belcourt’s poetry carves new forms for new subject matter in his latest collection, NDN Coping Mechanisms. Longtime student of language and translation, lover of misspellings and un-corrections, Erin Mouré’s new work, The Elements, is a polylingual drawing which parallels the uprising of Galician peasants against Napoleon’s army and the experience of witnessing her father’s dementia. Join us for an evening of poetry that asks what poetry is and what it can do.Thursday, October 3, 7:30pm Metro Theatre | 1411 Quadra St. Tickets: $15
