Lectures Logos Readings & Kola Magazine

Project: Building Bridges Via Literature

ABOUT


Lecture Logos Readings

LECTURES LOGOS READINGS, as the bilingual name implies, is an English-French reading series that is held monthly. It is co-hosted by H. Nigel Thomas and Maguy Métellus. Its principal objectives are:  getting writers from Montreal minority communities to share their work with the majority community, building community links via literature, and providing a sharing space for literary artists. Logos’ readers include established and beginning writers, and there is almost always a complementary open mic session.

Kola Magazine

KOLA MAGAZINE was founded in 1987 by four Black Montreal writers, who called themselves the Black Writers’ Guild. Its purpose was to provide an outlet for the literary creativity of Blacks, whose work at the time was rarely accepted by Euro-Canadian journals.  The Guild accepted work from everyone of every race provided their work was relevant to the Black experience. Since 2017 the magazine has adopted a more multicultural stance.

About Building Bridges Via Literature

As a way for Quebec’s Black Anglophone and Francophone established and beginning writers to build  bridges to each other and to Quebec’s many cultural communities, Logos will create a series of online events to showcase these writers. The events will comprise four themed sessions, ninety minutes long, of four writers plus a moderator. Each session will be comprised of two sections. The first section will be a brief reading of the participants’ work; the second will be a roundtable on the chosen theme.  The themes will be: community building, overcoming exile and alienation, and social justice, Montreal Black Community and the Media. Kola Magazine will publish a select number of these pieces.
