Karen Solie is the author of five collections of poetry. Her most recent, The Caiplie Caves, was published in Canada, the US, and UK, and shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize and Derek Walcott Prize. The Road In Is Not the Same Road Out (2015) was shortlisted for the Trillium Book Award. Pigeon (2009) won the Griffin Poetry Prize, Trillium Poetry Prize, and Pat Lowther Award. A volume of selected poems, The Living Option, published in the UK in 2003, received a Poetry Book Society recommendation. She has worked for writing programs and held writer-in-residence positions across Canada and in the UK, more recently at the Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University. She is the Associate Director for poetry for the Banff Centre's Writing Studio. In the autumn term of 2021, she will be the Holloway Visiting Poet and Lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley.
Karen Solie will offer a non-credit poetry workshop in the "S" term on Wednesdays, 6-8 pm. Whether the workshop will be held in person and/or online will depend on the pandemic situation at the time; details will be announced closer to the start of the winter term.
The workshop, which will accommodate no more than 15 participants, is by application and open to everyone who is currently part of the University of Toronto three-campus community-faculty, students, and staff.
If you're interested in taking this workshop, please submit directly to me (mailto:smaro.kamboureli@utoronto.ca) six poems totalling 10 pages in MS Word or PDF format via your @utoronto.ca email address. No cover letter or CV is necessary.
NB: Attachments should be saved under the applicant's and the program's names (e.g., Smith_JackMcClelland_Sample_2021) and the submission email should include the following subject heading: "Jack McClelland Writer in Residence 2021Seminar."
The deadline for submissions is midnight, Friday, November 27th.
The screening will be done by the writer in residence, and results will be announced before the Christmas break.
