Authors at Harbourfront Centre: NOW Open Poetry Stage

1 stage. 20 poets. 1 winner.

In 2009 Authors at Harbourfront Centre posted its first ever open call for submissions. The standard of entries was astonishing and the resulting event was one of the highlights of our year. Everyone loves a good thing, so in 2010 we’re repeating the concept. And this time, we’re partnering with our friends at NOW Magazine to make it even bigger and better!

On the eve of National Poetry Month, this popular event featuring 20 poets on one stage returns. One poet will receive an automatic invitation to read at the 31st annual International Festival of Authors, AND an ad for their book in NOW!
