About the event

An evening where the word is not merely literature, but breath itself. Poet laureate Rita Petro, a bold voice who for two decades has challenged silence and broken the boundaries of the unspoken — not only in literature — comes for an open meeting with her compatriots in Toronto. Through verses and confessions, she brings truths that provoke, but also liberate, turning literature into a space of freedom where every soul can recognize itself. A gathering to listen, to converse freely, to be inspired and find courage — perhaps even to disagree — but never to remain indifferent to the themes of emancipation as a society.
