Canadian Poetry: Where We Stand: Urban and Wilderness Poetics

How does place compel our creativity and shape our poetic imagination? Whether at home or abroad, whether on a pastoral retreat or in an off-hour at a busy city job, how does the writer’s location seep into the written work? Why does travel, a new environment, stimulate and inspire new work for some writers? This panel considers poems where place is a key motif.

Panelists: Ruth Roach Pierson, Maureen Hynes, Myna Wallin, Moira MacDougall
