If you're like me and intimidated by poetry, the two women participating in the second of Diaspora Dialogues' three-part poetry series - Poetry, Prosecco and Pasta - will do a lot to ease the pain.
Erin Moure, who will be reading from her collection, O Resplandor, writes poetry in English and Galician and translates poetry into English from French, Galician, Portuguese and Spanish. Check out her amazing resume right here
She also teaches Creative Writing at Concordia University in Montreal.
Priscila Uppal, who will be moderating the conversation with Erin Moure, is also a professor, but here in Toronto at York University. She is a talented poet as well. Check out her bio.
But, hey, even superwomen have to eat, right?
So why not join them for some fabulous Italian food at the elegant Grano Restaurant and figure out what makes them tick.
I'm figuring they'll be less daunting if I'm breaking bread with them.
