Literary Arts Thematic: Form & Constraint - Spring 2024

Pictured: Program faculty - Daniel Levin Becker (left) and Ian Williams (right). 

Banff Centre’s Form and Constraint Residency focuses on authors of fiction and poetry who use form and constrained forms – rhyme, metrics, Oulipian constraints - to create opportunities for new and unfettered expression.

This self-directed residency offers the opportunity to work away from the concerns of everyday life. Delve deep into your creative project and take advantage of the artistic community of your peers around you. This residency provides opportunities for consultations with mentors, readings, and optional group sessions led by guest mentors that allow creators to explore techniques, aspects, and devices that you may find useful in your practice.

Theme: New Beginnings 

For the past two years, many have been asking, "When will we get back to normal?" The stark reality is, we are living in the "New Normal." As we learn to accept our situation as it is, we enter 2022 with new hopes, dreams, and desires to shed the negativity from the past.  

What is your new beginning? Is it letting go of past hurt, or working toward a goal? Or it could simply be being more of who you are. 222 is considered an "angel number" and can be seen as  “beginning,” which ties in with its meaning as a representation of a new start. What are you trying to begin (or begin again)? Let 2022 fuel your desire to achieve your dreams.

Open Call for Our Winter 2021 Issue

Fire & Ice encompasses the duality of winter symbolism. Winter is stark. It brings the death of nature around us as the darkness of night consumes waking hours. We find ourselves eating and sleeping more, matching animal habits to find comfort. And yet, this is the time of year where people come together and find warmth in gratitude and inspiration to change. We share stories by the fire and gifts from the heart. What does being "cold" this winter mean to you? How do you find your warmth?
