Please join us for a memorable morning featuring Pier Giorgio Di Cicco, celebrated Poet Laureate of the City of Toronto. Di Cicco, who is also a Roman Catholic priest, has authored 17 collections of poetry since 1976. He has extended the role of Poet Laureate beyond the area of arts advocacy in Toronto and into the realm of “civic aesthetic”, a term coined to define the building of a city by citizenship, civic ethics and urban psychology.
Di Cicco’s urban philosophy has influenced municipal policy in Canada , the U.S. and United Kingdom and has moved the role of the poet laureate into the forum of global engagement in issues that address the urban aesthetic and its relationship to livable and sustainable cities. His 18th book, The Visible World, is scheduled for release in the spring of 2006.
Don’t miss this very special event.
