Public discussion: Monic Robillard invites Catherine Mavrikakis

July 25, 2024

Thursday July 25, 6 pm.

Sophie Lanctôt, Mallarmé, Molinari: CROSSWORDS curator Monic Robillard extended the invitation to author Catherine Mavrikakis, who, like herself, is no stranger to Mallarmé’s poetry. Together, they propose an exchange around the Mallarméan legacy, which remains very much alive in today’s literary and artistic issues. Not to be missed!

No reservation needed.

Catherine Mavrikakis is a writer who teaches literature and research/creation at the Université de Montréal’s Département des littératures de langue française. She is the author of Deuils cannibales et mélancoliques, L’Annexe, Les Derniers jours de Smokey Nelson, Le Ciel de Bay City and L’absente de tous bouquets.

Monic Robillard, Ph. D., has published two books, Le désir de la vierge. Hérodiade chez Mallarmé and Sous la plume de l’ange. De Balzac à Valéry, which focus on representations of creation. In 2005, she took part in the colloquium “Mallarmé, le livre”, on the work of Klaus Scherübel, at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. Drawing on her experience in publishing and teaching, she accompanies creative projects in a variety of disciplines.
