Charles Bernstein and Sarah Dowling are the co-organizers of North of Invention: A Festival of Canadian Poetry. Taking place over four days in January 2011 at Kelly Writers House in Philadelphia and Poets House in New York City, North of Invention aimed "to initiate a new dialogue in North American poetics, addressing the hotly debated areas of 'innovation' and 'conceptual writing,' the history of sound poetry and contemporary performance, multilingualism and translation, and connections to activism."
