        &lt;p&gt;The thirteenth instalment of HEAR/HEAR is right around the corner: August 10. Join us for an evening of poetry, music, good food and good company.

        &lt;p&gt;As always we will be hosting a raffle, giving away books and exclusive NHT! t-shirts. So come out and support local artists and celebrate our 13th reading series.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;See you there!&lt;/p&gt;

Over the ten-weeks, students put their writing skills to the test by exploring genres such as  concrete poetry, haiku, sonnet, spoken  word, journalism, short story, memoir and comics. &lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
      We are so grateful to have a stellar band of writers facilitating English activities in high schools throughout the city. We are especially grateful to the &lt;strong&gt;Toronto Catholic District School Board&lt;/strong&gt; who has partnered with us every step of the way. What a great semester! Can't wait to start it up again in September!&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;And to tide you over during the lazy crazy days of summer, reread interviews from our wonderful Writers-in-Residence:&lt;/p&gt;

This &lt;strong&gt;HEAR/HEAR&lt;/strong&gt; has a bit of a twist: with the overwhelming success of the &lt;strong&gt;WRITE ON! Workshops&lt;/strong&gt;, we decided to dedicate this reading series to specific &lt;strong&gt;WRITE ON! Writers&lt;/strong&gt;: individuals who have facilitated creative writing workshops in community centres and schools outside of the &lt;strong&gt;S.W.A.T. &lt;/strong&gt;program. &lt;br /&gt;

Workshops&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; developing in community centres, libraries and organizations throughout Toronto. Between May and June, we've carried out 5 workshops to 3 amazing organizations:&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
      Spoken word artist, musician and radio personality &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reverbnation.com/jwyze&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;J Wyze&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; facilitated two creative writing workshops for members at &lt;strong&gt;Operation Springboard: Blue Jays Lodge&lt;/strong&gt;, a youth justice residence. These workshops explored both poetry, hip hop and rap lyricism and encouraged participants to write their own words.&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
      A follow up to April's poetry workshop at &lt;strong&gt;Parkdale Drop-in Community Centre&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://nowhearthis.ca/blog/get_know_elisabeth_de_mariaffi&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;Elisabeth de Mariaffi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; facilitated a creative &amp;#34;Where we're From&amp;#34; workshop, where members wrote poems about their various backgrounds.&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;strong&gt;Bereaved Families Ontario: Toronto&lt;/strong&gt; hosted a creative writing workshop facilitated by &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jacobscheier.com/&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;Jacob Scheier&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. The workshop, &amp;#34;Grief and Loss&amp;#34;, explores techniques on writing about the loss of a loved one while understanding varying levels of grief. This emotional workshop gave members the skills and confidence to incorporate personal experiences into their own writing.&lt;/p&gt;

This free, interactive forum is specifically designed for young writers to share their work and comment with their peers about writing. Facilitated by &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nowhearthis.ca/blog/get_know_nic_labriola&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;Nic Labriola&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Writers' Circuit&lt;/strong&gt; runs for 8 weeks during the summer and features writing prompts, detailed critiques by the Writer-in-Residence, interviews by professional writers, videos and podcasts about creative writing and other web-based content. &lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
    Already, active and eager Writers' Circuiters are writing and critiquing each others' work in the first week of the program. For more information about &lt;strong&gt;Writers' Circuit&lt;/strong&gt; email Rachel at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:&amp;#114;&amp;#97;&amp;#99;&amp;#104;&amp;#101;&amp;#108;&amp;#x40;&amp;#x6E;&amp;#111;&amp;#119;&amp;#x68;&amp;#x65;&amp;#x61;&amp;#114;&amp;#116;&amp;#x68;&amp;#105;&amp;#x73;&amp;#46;&amp;#x63;&amp;#x61;&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;&amp;#114;&amp;#97;&amp;#99;&amp;#104;&amp;#101;&amp;#108;&amp;#x40;&amp;#x6E;&amp;#111;&amp;#119;&amp;#x68;&amp;#x65;&amp;#x61;&amp;#114;&amp;#116;&amp;#x68;&amp;#105;&amp;#x73;&amp;#46;&amp;#x63;&amp;#x61;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

But the students aren't the only ones doing the learning. &lt;strong&gt;S.W.A.T. &lt;/strong&gt;writers, both first-year and seasoned residences, are gaining a lot of insight about working with youth and exploring literacy in the classroom.&lt;/span&gt;

      &lt;br /&gt;
      Each anthology showcases work from students across Toronto who participated in the &lt;strong&gt;S.W.A.T.&lt;/strong&gt; program and man, do they have a lot to say. From short stories to poetry to memoirs and more, each book gets better and better.&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
      President of Descant Arts &amp;#38; Letters Foundation &lt;strong&gt;Karen Mullhallen&lt;/strong&gt; has this to say about our latest anthology:&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p class=&quot;STANDARD-NHT&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;#34;The Capybara is a living  being, and it brings with it all the complexity and joy and power of the human imagination... May the alphabet of creatures continue to grow and proliferate.&amp;#34;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p class=&quot;STANDARD-NHT&quot;&gt;Be sure to buy the A (Armadillo) B (Barracuda) Cs (Capybara) online &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.descant.ca/purchase.html&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, if you don't already have one of these creative critters at home. Up nextâ¦the DROMEDARY! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

    &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;hosted a fantastic creative writing workshop this March in collaboration with &lt;strong&gt;Rosedale Heights School of the Arts&lt;/strong&gt; called &lt;em&gt;Graphic Novel: Beyond the Comic&lt;/em&gt;. Two  Writer's Craft classes and two Alternative Visual Arts classes were instructed by &lt;strong&gt;WRITE ON! &lt;/strong&gt;graphic novelist &lt;strong&gt;Marc Ngui&lt;/strong&gt; for 6 days. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;STANDARD-NHT&quot;&gt;During the workshop, students learned about the history of comics, its basic elements, how to draw simple characters' faces and bodies and how to blend words and pictures together to tell a story. &lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">
        &lt;p&gt;Hello &lt;strong&gt;NOW HEAR THIS!&lt;/strong&gt; Friends &amp;#38; Family,&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Here at the office we&amp;#8217;ve been busily preparing for our biggest event of the year and we hope that you can come out to support &lt;strong&gt;NOW HEAR THIS!&lt;/strong&gt; and our programming. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Capybara&lt;/em&gt;, our newest anthology of student writing, is launching with a blow-out party on &lt;strong&gt;Wednesday, March 23&lt;/strong&gt;. This event celebrates the creativity and hard work of all the students in the &lt;strong&gt;S.W.A.T.&lt;/strong&gt; program, but especially those published in &lt;em&gt;The Capybara&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;The anthology itself boasts the best writing by student participants from the 2009-10 school year's series of &lt;strong&gt;S.W.A.T.&lt;/strong&gt; creative residencies&amp;#8212;short stories, poems, memoirs and personal essays. The 65 students whose work is featured in &lt;em&gt;The Capybara&lt;/em&gt; have found creative ways to express the modern youth perspective and stand up to those issues affecting teens every day. &lt;em&gt;The Capybara&lt;/em&gt; also features cover art and a selection of illustrations interspersed throughout the book created by local talent &lt;strong&gt;Michael DeForge&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;This event is free to attend and open to the public, so we hope you&amp;#8217;ll  join us in toasting to the continued success of the &lt;strong&gt;S.W.A.T.&lt;/strong&gt; program and  our fabulous student writers. Students and writers will be performing their work, discounted copies of &lt;em&gt;The Capybara&lt;/em&gt; will be  available for purchase and light refreshments will be served.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;We can't wait to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

            &lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;hear-hear.ca&lt;/strong&gt; website is a reflection of our reading series: a little nook in the cyberspace where &lt;strong&gt;NOW HEAR THIS! &lt;/strong&gt;fans can relive moments from the evening. We showcase posters illustrated by the fabulous &lt;a href=&quot;http://kingtrash.com/&quot; target=&quot;_parent&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Michael DeForge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and share candid photos of our writers performing their work with the public. The pi&amp;#232;ce de r&amp;#233;sistance are our &lt;a href=&quot;http://hear-hear.podomatic.com/&quot; target=&quot;_parent&quot;&gt;podcasts&lt;/a&gt;, capturing the very words that make our writers so wonderful. Whether it be a piece deeply embedded in the writer's repertoire or a fresh new work that has never been shared with the public, we've got it all in these delectable podcasts to tide you over until the next &lt;strong&gt;HEAR/HEAR&lt;/strong&gt; event being held on April 13th. &lt;/p&gt;

            &lt;br&gt;
            This eerie evening is taking place at the historical &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Brown_House_%28Toronto%29&quot; target=&quot;_parent&quot;&gt;George Brown House&lt;/a&gt; (50 Baldwin St.) &lt;strong&gt;April 6&lt;/strong&gt; with doors opening at 7pm. &lt;br&gt;
            &lt;br&gt;
            By day, the George Brown House is the office of both &lt;strong&gt;Descant&lt;/strong&gt;  and &lt;strong&gt;NOW HEAR THIS!&lt;/strong&gt;. By night, it's said to be the stomping grounds for 19th century publisher and politician &lt;strong&gt;George Brown&lt;/strong&gt; who was shot and died in the building. Spooky!&lt;br&gt;

Our little &lt;strong&gt;Capybara&lt;/strong&gt; is progressing nicely (check out the cover!) as all the pieces from the anthology are coming together. Another 4 syllabic animal to look out for in the year is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Dromedary&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, again an anthology but this time featuring work from our &lt;strong&gt;S.W.A.T.&lt;/strong&gt; writers. &lt;br&gt;

Our bi-monthly reading series, featuring our &lt;strong&gt;NOW HEAR THIS!&lt;/strong&gt; writers is set to start off in April 2011. &lt;br&gt;
