Join the League of Canadian Poets in partnership with the MacEwan University Arts and Cultural Management Program for the annual Anne Szumigalski Lecture, to be delivered by celebrated poet Titilope Sonuga.

This lecture explores the dialogic nature of poetry and the ongoing co-creation of the work when expressed as the spoken word. Drawing on oral traditions, call-and-response rituals, storytelling and performance cultures, Sonuga illustrates how real-time audience interaction serves as a crucial refinement process for the artist's work—a dynamic edit through which poetry emerges as a sacred communal act.

This is a FREE event but attendees must register.

There will be no latecomers admitted.
