Robert McLaughlin Gallery, the Lookout
72 Queens St, Oshawa

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.

Inquiries should be sent to Wayne Johnston at wajohnst@uoguelph.ca

Generous support for this event has been received from Hometown Words: An Open Mic for Spoken Word and Talkin’ Tales.
