The League of Canadian Poets, Suite 1519

We are thrilled to announce our inaugural fundraiser for Sick Kids hospital, 'Poetry & Healing'! Join us at The Supermarket in Kensington Market (268 Augusta Avenue) for an afternoon of poetry for a great cause. Come listen to your favourite poets (or potentially new favourites!)

Each of the following poets will read 10 minutes of poetry that connects to the theme of 'Poetry & Healing'. As this is a broad theme that is open to diverse interpretations, it should make for a truly fascinating and engaging afternoon!

Get excited to hear from the following strong and talented poets:

Al Moritz, Luciano Iacobelli, Kate Marshall Flaherty, Lois Lorimer, Corrado Paina, Daniel David Moses, Ronna Bloom, Rajinderpal Pal, Allan Briesmaster, Dr. Conor McDonnell, Jacob Shrier, Ayesha Chatterjee If you're unable to attend and would still like to donate to SickKids in partnership with the League of Canadian Poets, you can do so at the following link:
