Recorded live in August 2025, the Manitou Beach Literary Festival celebrates the diversity of Saskatchewan's authors and literary community.
Join author Miguel Fenrich and the 2025 Youth Poet Laureate, Tai Reign in conversation about Tai's work, how they manage self-care, and some deep insights on society today.
Miguel is a queer, Sudanese-Canadian professional artist living and playing on Treaty 6 Territory in Saskatoon. As a truth-teller, his work often explores community/culture/care and their messy relationships with truth through an intersectional, decolonial lense. He is the author of Blue: a Novel and What Lies in the Valley. He is the President of the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild and is a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal. He is working on his third novel + many other things.
Tai Reign is a Two-Spirit artist from Peepeekisis Cree Nation based in Regina, Saskatchewan. As a young artist, they've used spoken word as an avenue of self expression. Collaborating with artists from different disciplines has helped them find a sense of connection and play in art and storytelling.
