Poetry Cabaret
with Billy Ray Belcourt, Canisia Lubrin and katherena vermette
Hosted by David O'Meara
How incandescent the language is, each line emitting light through the membrane of time and anticipated grief. The work has a rigorousness, the poet pushing through the ache of experience from the first to the last word.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of poetry hosted by Ottawa’s English language poet laureate, David O’Meara, as he welcomes Griffin Poetry Prize-winner Billy Ray Belcourt, Windham-Campbell Prize-winner Canisia Lubrin and Governor General’s Award–winner katherena vermette back to the Festival stage.
