The County of Brant Public Library would like to formally thank everyone who made the wonderfully successful Young Authors Project possible!
Funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Young Authors Project was a special project sponsored by Kids Can Fly, The Brantford Expositor, and the County of Brant Public Library.
Writer-in-residence-for-youth Lauren Kirshner lead the project, which gave 22 lucky local youth the chance to hone their writing craft under the mentorship of a published author.
The final product, 22 Pairs of Shoes, was launched at a special reception at the Brant Sports Complex where the participants received congratulations and a copy of the final published magazine.
The Creative Writing Program in the Department of English hosts alumni Allegra Hyde (MFA 2015) and H. Lee Barnes (MFA 1992) for a reading from their work.
Allegra Hyde is the author of the 2016 John Simmons Short Fiction Award winning collection “Of this New World.”

Designed by Brian Scott of www.FreelanceWriting.com — Isaac Bashevis Singer was a Polish-born, Jewish-American author best known for his short stories. He was a leading figure in the Yiddish literary movement and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978. He won two U.S. National Book Awards, one in Children's Literature for his memoir A Day Of Pleasure: Stories of a Boy Growing Up in Warsaw and one in Fiction for his collection A Crown of Feathers and Other Stories. This design is my tribute to him.
Looking at people around me, there are things
That makes me wear my brain’s glasses of sight
They’re characters from “The Lord of the Rings”
They let me see the play as they recite…
There is a dwarf, a giant one, a male,
Able to break the stones on his forehead
His only strength is physical; a tale
He would not tell, he would hit you instead.
The jolly hobbit, smiling with his creases:
No matter if he’s handsome or too short.
He knows every new CD, the releases
Of the new shows: we love him, that’s his forte.
I am the lonely Strider, strolling at ease at night
Galadriel in disguise, never to be a knight.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
Thanks to John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Alex for the inspiration.
The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.
