Foundations exist everywhere in real life. They are the physical base of structures, rules for living our everyday lives, and agreed-upon procedures for our institutions. How does this show up in writing? Foundations give writers strength and connection to the craft of writing, literary traditions and communities of other writers. This festival asks us to consider what the important foundations for writing are. How can we lay foundations for others to join us in our multiplicity of stories and experiences?

Featuring Canadian writers Anne Fleming, Lydia Kwa, Jes Battis and S. Bear Bergman.
