About
Windsor’s Poets Laureate Welcome Special Guest Poets from across Canada for Poetry at the Manor Virtual Reading. City of Windsor Poet Laureate Mary Ann Mulhern and Poet Laureate Emeritus Marty Gervais are hosting four poets laureate from across Canada for a special virtual edition of the popular annual Poetry at the Manor event. The guest poets – Samantha Badaoa (Windsor), John Barton (Victoria), Jason Heroux (Kingston), and Julie Pellissier-Lush (Prince Edward Island) – will participate in the unique reading online via Zoom.
The virtual reading will be broadcast Tuesday, October 6, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. on YouTube, and shared on Facebook pages for “Mayor Drew Dilkens”, “The City of Windsor – Municipal Government”, “Museum Windsor”, and “Black Moss Press.”
In addition to the poets, special guests include Mayor Drew Dilkens with introductory and welcome remarks, Teajai Travis with a drum and storytelling welcome, and Nadine Deleury with a cello performance filmed at Willistead Park with Willistead Manor as the backdrop. The manor is the usual setting for this event, with the switch to virtual in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Links to booksellers for the poets works will be promoted during the broadcast.

The City of Windsor has a creative and vibrant cultural community that encourages artistic expression, and the celebration of cultural identity and cultural diversity.
The Cultural Affairs Team works with the community to coordinate and facilitate exciting cultural opportunities for residents and visitors. The ongoing acquisition of public art; rich inheritance of cultural resources, stories, traditions, sites, documents, and built, social and natural heritage features help residents build and keep a sense of who they are and tell the Windsor story to the world.
We partner with all levels of government, the not-for-profit sector, business and the public to make sure culture and the tourism industry benefit each other. Culture is essential to the development of our City.
