    Description:

    The World Poetry Day (WPD) is an annual event instituted by UNESCO with the aim of supporting linguistic and cultural diversity through poetic expression.

    This year (at Queen’s University), Paul Akpomuje, a Nigerian poet and doctoral student at Queen’s Faculty of Education, and Rebecca Luce-Kapler, poet, professor and Dean of Education, will be hosted by the Arts Infusion Committee, Faculty of Education, as they curate and facilitate an insightful discourse on the Poetics of Love, which is in line with the theme of this year’s WPD: *How do I love thee?*

    We invite scholars, researchers, thinkers, and sundry people to join us as we seek to weave words to describe the multidimensional nature of love, including decolonial love, radical love, ecological love, and familial love.

    We welcome participants to lend their poems, words and voices as we collectively and poetically think through the transgressive and transformative nature of love, desire, and (be)longing.

    Refreshments will be served.
