Poet in Residence
A paid opportunity to work on a chapbook or full-length work.
About the Poet in Residence
Our Poet in Residence program is open to anyone in Canada and includes a $4,000 grant and access to the Upstart & Crow upstairs writing studio space for at least a month, along with editing feedback and support. The expectation would be for the chosen poet to complete a chapbook or full-size poetry book through the residency, ready for publication (or submission to publishers). As part of the residency, they would participate in at least two public events or workshops, sharing their perspective with others.
Our 2025 jurors are: Raoul Fernandes, Jess Housty, and Doretta Lau.
Applications for 2025 are now closed. Shortlist to be announced.
