SUMMARY:Pride Month Poetry Workshop with Ben Ladouceur
DESCRIPTION:Beginning and emerging poets are invited to join facilitator Ben Ladouceur for a poetry workshop on the eve of Pride Month in Ottawa! \n\n\n\nBen will guide participants through writing prompts inspired by some of the best contemporary queer and ally poets. \n\n\n\nWhether you write poetry all the time or haven’t touched it for many years – if you want to explore and create poetry in a safe and productive space\, you will find this workshop worthwhile. You will walk away with three or four new poems in your notebook\, to continue working on at your own pace. \n\n\n\nParticipants will also be invited (if they want to) to take part in a reading in late August alongside authors Kimberly Quiogue Andrews\, Kevin Shaw and Sanita Fejzić (details to come). \n\n\n\nNote: The workshop is free but you need a library card (also free) to register. \n\n\n\nAbout Ben:Ben Ladouceur is an author living on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation (Ottawa). His first book\, Otter\, was selected as a best book of 2015 by the National Post\, nominated for a Lambda Literary Award\, and awarded the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award; his second book\, Mad Long Emotion\, was awarded the Archibald Lampman Prize. He is the recipient of the Writers’ Trust Dayne Ogilvie Prize for emerging LGBT+ writers\, and a National Magazine Award for Poetry. His short fiction has been featured in the Journey Prize Anthology and awarded the Thomas Morton Prize. His debut novel\, I Remember Lights\, was published by Book*hug Press in April 2025.
