Poetry

For over a decade, the Woman Scream (Grito de Mujer) cause has spread its message of hope around the world, getting hundreds of people, groups and solidarity institutions involved in the social mission of becoming emissaries of those women who suffer or have suffered different forms of violence, through the celebration of socio-cultural events where the main goal has been raising awareness among the population about this serious issue, uniting all kinds of arts.

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.
