Poet in Residence

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.

Applications for the 2025 residency will launch in Spring 2025.
