Get Lit! Festival 2023

Join us in celebrating our literary neighbors from the north for a cross-genre reading from three talented Canadian writers Leesa Dean, Susan Andrews Grace, and Jane Byers. Jane, whose poetry has been included in a Best Canadian Poetry anthology, will be celebrating her recent memoir Small Courage: A Queer Memoir of Finding Love and Conceiving Family, Susan will be reading from her sixth book of poetry Hypatia’s Wake, and Leesa Dean, whose story collection Waiting for the Cyclone was nominated for the 2017 Trillium and ReLit Awards, will be reading from her exciting new novella-in-verse based on the poetry of Elizabeth Bishop, title The Filling Station. Don't miss an eclectic hour of poetry, memoir and genre-bending CNF from these talented Canadian writers.

To attend this event, you must purchase a Book Fair & Events Pass which covers entry into our two-day Book Fair and all 17 events taking place at the Montvale Event Center. Tickets will go on sale Monday, March 20th at 8am.
