A day of readings and discussions to celebrate contemporary poetry, and make links between literary communities in Britain and Canada. This is the last in a series of Knowledge Exchange events funded by a grant from Lancaster University’s Faculty of Art and Social Science Enterprise scheme, and kindly hosted by The Wordsworth Trust at a time when the future of contemporary poetry events in Grasmere is uncertain. This event brings together four poets associated (more or less) with Toronto, with four poets whose development has been supported in various ways by The Wordsworth Trust. They are:

• Karen Solie
• Damian Rogers
• Wanda O’Connor
• Megan Fernandes
• Eileen Pun
• Emily Hasler
• Penny Boxall
• Kim Moore
