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.
Erina Harris is a Canadian writer and Instructor of Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Alberta (Edmonton). A graduate and Fellow of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, her cross-genre writing projects have been published widely and in translation. Her writing and teaching have been awarded multiple prizes and she is a recipient of the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artist Award (2024). Erina will read from her most recent book, Trading Beauty Secrets with the Dead ( Wolsak & Wynn, 2024) in which she strives to deploy the transgressive force of play. In these poems and essays, she works to re-imagine nonsense verse, children’s literature, and various female mythological figures through de-colonial inquiry. Be welcome to visit: www.erinaharris.com
