GritLIT: Hamilton’s Readers & Writers Festival presents Poetry Decoded, with Hana Shafi, author of It Begins with the Body. Also with Linda Frank, Shane Neilson, and Adam Sol.

Metrophobia, or fear of poetry, is a surprisingly-common affliction, yet poetry predates written text as a form of communication. Poets Linda Frank, Shane Neilson, Hana Shafi and Adam Sol read from their own work and discuss how they approach reading a poem and why readers should not be intimidated by poetry – an art form that is central to human expression.

Hosted/moderated by John Terpstra.
