Mentoring and Editing in Poetry

D/deaf/HoH, Disabled, Mad and Neuroatypical Poetics Festival Mentoring and Editing in Poetry: Tolu Oloruntoba and Jim Johnstone      ZOOM EVENT: Mentoring and Editing in Poetry - An Hour of Conversation with Tolu Oloruntoba and Jim Johnstone. Host: Allan Peterkin. Tolo Olorubtoba's The Junta of Happenstance was awarded the current Governor-General's Award Winner for Poetry. Jim Johnstone, a noted poet himself, served as mentor and editor for Oloruntoba at Palimpsest Press. Both poets have experienced periods of illness in their lives. This evening will feature readings from Oloruntoba (who is also a medical doctor) and Johnstone, as well as a conversation held between each other about editorial process and illness. The kind of intimate conversational space created is uncommon in Canadian Literature. Time will be preserved for audience questions for two of the most exciting poets currently writing in Canada. –•–  [  >>>>>  ABOUT THE ONTARIO D/deaf/HoH, DISABLED, MAD AND NEUROATYPICAL POETICS FESTIVAL   I   COVER ]   + [Distillate © HA&L + Ontario D/deaf/HoH, Disabled, Mad and Neuroatypical Poetics Festival]
