Edmonton friends… I’m so excited for this moonlit, art-filled weekend. There’s something about the moon that pulls truth to the surface—like it gives our voices permission to glow a little brighter.
Moonstruck is an evening of poetry, photography, and music celebrating the moon—part of the League of Canadian Poets’ 60 for 60 anniversary events across the country. We’ll be responding to Wallace Stevens’ invitation: “the book of moonlight is not yet written.”
And then, the next morning, we go deeper with Writing Beyond—a master class where the page meets the stage and your work gets to move, breathe, and transform.
