Event Description

In a world on fire—ecologically, politically, spiritually—what can poetry do? Three acclaimed poets—Karen Solie, Cecily Nicholson, and Christina Shah—join moderator Kyeren Regehr to explore the role of poetry in the face of crisis. Their recent books resist erasure, centring the lives of those that persist despite systems designed to overlook them. They grapple with the impossibility of belonging within extractive and exclusionary systems while refusing sentimentality or easy answers.
