Atwater Poetry Project

poetry

The Atwater Poetry Project invites you to poetry that lifts, burns and balms.

Our 2011 - 2012 season presents established and emerging writers who foreground the relationship between poets and their mentors — most of this eighth season's poets are reading alongside someone whose work they have helped or whelped, or who has shaped their work.

This year, Atwater is also pleased to showcase small press Coach House Books, and to host a 75th-anniversary reading by the entire Governor-General's poetry shortlist!

Founded in 2004, the Atwater Poetry Project continues to offer Montreal an inspiring range of poets and poetry, and to cultivate with Canadian and international writers a respected professional venue. Audiences have a chance to hear their favourite writers live and to be introduced to poets whose work they may not have known. Come meet the poets, buy books; come hear the beauty, dispute the truths.

The Atwater Poetry Project wishes to thank the staff and volunteers of the Atwater Library, the Canada Council for the Arts, The Writers' Union of Canada, the League of Canadian Poets for their financial support, media sponsor the Montreal Review of Books, and our audiences.
