About

Join us for an event with award-winning Canadian poet Canisia Lubrin, as she reads from and reflects on her latest work, The World After Rain. In this radiant elegy for her mother, Lubrin invites us into a world transformed by storms – both personal and collective – where survival, community, and possibility emerge in luminous ways. Through her reading and conversation, Lubrin will explore the power of poetry to reimagine the human condition, offering us glimpses of the resilience and beauty that comes out of grief.

This event will feature a multimedia reading and dancing from Meina Lubrin-Aoki.
