Seana will recite from a newly-crafted script, A Dictionary of Emotions, written by Elena Astaseva at the beginning of the 2022 Ukraine war. Cedric will read from the works of revered Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko. Anishinaabe Algonquin author and speaker S.P. Joseph Lyons will welcome the audience and former Stratford Festival actor Michael Fox will act as host for the evening.
