Feb 12: #DiverseCanLit: Poetry

Date: Wednesday, Feb 12, 2014
Time: 8pm ET
Topic: Poetry
Use the #DiverseCanLit chat to follow along on Twitter (or TweetChat). Last week we talked about grants and MFAs. It was such a big topic that we might have to talk about each again separately! This week we’ll talk about poetry in Canada. Below are a few of the questions we may discuss:

  • Why do you write poetry? Why do you read poetry?
  • Is there a “right” way to write poetry? Who determines that?
  • What are the biggest diversity issues in the Canadian poetry community?
  • What does “diverse” poetry look like? Who are some of your favorite poets?
