Since 1990, The Word On The Street has proudly hosted some of the finest talent in Canadian literature. Our next festival is shaping up to be another great one. Check out some of the authors, storytellers, and performers who have been involved in the festival over the years.
David Carpenter was born in Edmonton and has lived in Saskatoon since 1975, where he began what has become a rich and influential writing career. He is the author of numerous novels, short story collections, memoirs, and editorial works, including A Hunter’s Confession—winner of the Saskatchewan Book Award for Book of the Year—and the three-volume Literary History of Saskatchewan. His collaborative work with Joseph Auguste (Augie) Merasty on The Education of Augie Merasty received wide national acclaim. Known for his generosity, humour, and grounded wisdom, Carpenter remains a beloved voice in Saskatchewan’s literary community. He is currently at work on a new collection of short stories.
