About this event

  • 2 hours

You are invited to participate in a literary event that takes its inspiration from the 1863 Salon des Refusés. It is a celebration of writing that was initially rejected. It is also a celebration of marginalized communities who often feel rejected by mainstream society. If you have a poem or a work of micro-fiction whose value went unrecognized when you first submitted it to either a literary journal or competition, regardless whether it was eventually published or not, we invite you to give your work a warm reception in front of a live audience.

Each author will have a maximum of ten minutes to read.

Expressions of interest should be sent to Wayne Johnston at wajohnst@uoguelph.ca
