SUMMARY:Salon of the Refused – Barrie
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to participate in 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. \nSend questions to Wayne Johnston at wajohnst@uoguelph.ca
