WHAT MAKES FICTION WORK

TUES. OCT 11, 7.30-9.00p.m. LitChat at Sky Dragon Centre, 27 King William Street, Hamilton with R.W. MEGENS.
We will discuss the elements of fiction that make it appealing and enduring for readers. You are invited to bring passages or books that have writing that made them enduring in some way.
R.W. Megens' book of poetry, The Infinite Ache, was published by Serengeti Press. Xaviera Hollander, author of The Happy Hooker, said this about the collection: “I was aroused by R.W. Megens’ titillating poems. They celebrate the connection between personal happiness, sexual fulfilment and intimacy.” Megens has edited seven anthologies of Kairos, a collection of poetry and prose – one of which published a short story awarded The Writers’ Trust of Canada/McClelland Stewart Journey Prize. He won the Hamilton and Region Literary Award and the Prickly Poetry Contest
