Salon of the Refused – Hamilton

Saturday, February 17, 2024 – 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM

The Bright Room, The Staircase
27 Dundurn St N, Hamilton

You are invited to attend a literary event that takes its inspiration from the 1863 Salon des Refusés. It is a celebration of writing that was initially rejected. It is also a celebration of marginalized communities who often feel rejected by mainstream society. The authors will present works of poetry or prose that went unrecognized when first submitted to either a literary journal or competition but whose power and beauty will be evident to those in attendance.

For more information contact Wayne Johnston at wajohnst@uoguelph.ca

Generous support for this event has been received from Tower Poetry Society, Wolsak & Wynn and Hamilton Mountain Writers’ Guild.
