SUMMARY:Michael Lista at Calgary Wordfest: Poetry Cabaret
DESCRIPTION:Michael Lista\, author of poetry collection Barfly (June 6\, 2024) will be at the Calgary Wordfest’s Imaginairium Festival’s “Poetry Cabaret”! Michael will be joined by fellow poets Conor Kerr\, Canisia Lubrin\, and Benjamin Hertwig on stage to regale the audience in verse with readings and short interviews. Join them to fill your Friday night with a figurative (and perhaps a literal) cocktail of the poetic joy and wonder within us all.

In this incomparable third collection\, his first in a decade\, Michael Lista returns to reinvent poetry with humour\, pugnacity\, and a deeply singular voice. Splicing Byronic rhymes and Auden’s meters with the twenty-first century irreverence of a late-stage Twitter feed\, the poems in Barfly are alternatingly aggressive\, sweet\, deadly\, and raw with a break-your-heart vulnerability. \nABOUT MICHAEL LISTA \nMichael Lista is an investigative journalist\, essayist and poet. He has worked as a book columnist for the National Post and as the poetry editor of The Walrus. He is the author of four books: the poetry volumes Bloom and The Scarborough; Strike Anywhere\, a collection of his writing about literature\, television and culture; and The Human Scale: Murder\, Mischief and Other Selected Mayhems\, a book of longform journalism. His essays and investigative stories have appeared in the New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, Slate\, The Walrus\, Canadaland\, and Toronto Life. He is a contributing editor at Toronto Life and Maclean’s. He was the 2017 Margaret Laurence Fellow at Trent University and the winner of the 2020 National Magazine Awards for both Investigative Reporting and Long Form Feature Writing.
