  • Write Now - The Importance of Seeing (and Hearing)
    • Featuring poet & artist Emily De Angelis
      • Emily De Angelis comes from a long line of visual artists, musicians and storytellers. She has spent many years developing her writing through independent study, workshops, conferences, and courses, including a year in the Humber School for Writers under the mentorship of Richard Scrimger. She was also fortunate to receive an OAC grant for Works in Progress. Emily has western and Japanese-style poems as well as short stories published in various anthologies and periodicals. She served as the President of the Sudbury Writers’ Guild 1998-2000, and recently served as Treasurer as well as Facilitator of the Guild’s Children/Young Adult Inner Circle. Emily's YA manuscript entitled, The Stones of Burren Bay, has been accepted for publication by Latitude 46 Publishing and will be out in 2024. Her upcoming exhibition at the Woodstock Art Gallery, called "The Ekphrasis of Florence: Poetry In Japanese Form Inspired by the Work of Florence Carlyle" opens on July 15 and features twelve pieces of her poetry and the accompanying artwork of Florence Carlyle, one of Woodstock's most renowned artists.
