In collaboration with Trinity Centre and host Dr. Edson  Burton, we invite you to join us for an evening celebrating the  transformative power of word and sound with Lillian Allen, award-winning  Poet and Creative Writing Professor at the Ontario College of Art &  Design University in Toronto.
Open mic starts at 7pm, followed by performance and Q&A with Lillian Allen.
Professor Allen has pioneered and specialized in dub poetry, a new  genre of English Literature which is a highly politicized form of poetry  preferring a black aesthetic and specific cultural codification. Allen  is responsible for opening up the form to insist and engrave feminist  content and sensibilities. Professor Allen’s work in poetry, theatre,  fiction, non-fiction, writing for children, and experimental writing  forms has been extensively published, performed, and recorded.
