Créatique – Charlotte Wetton & Alexei Perry Cox

Join us for the first in a series of intimate events that will feature readings and conversations with PhD students at Concordia University who have both creative writing and research practices.

Held in the Richler Library seminar room (capacity 30ish people), each Créatique event will feature two PhD students reading from their creative work and talking in whatever way they wish about the relationship between their creative and critical work and practice.

The Richler Room, 6th floor of the Library Building (LB) Room #655 at Concordia
