Writing Workshop:
The afternoon begins with a free writing workshop at the Library with Geneviève Robichaud from 12:30–1:45 PM upstairs in The HUB. Read a full breakdown of this year's workshop below:
Geneviève Robichaud’s research and writings focus mainly on the poetics of experimental writing and translation. With Erin Wunker and Sina Queyras, she is the co-editor of Avant Desire: A Nicole Brossard Reader (Coach House Books 2020) and is the author of a chapbook, entitled Exit Text (Anstruther Press), and a book on translation poetics from McGill-Queen’s University Press entitled The Poetics of Translation: A Thinking Structure (2024). She is the co-translator, alongside Danielle Leblanc, of Nous, Jane (Les Éditions Perce-Neige 2024), a French translation of Aimee Wall’s novel We, Jane (Book*hug 2021).
