Poet In Community

Acclaimed poet Ronna Bloom is the University of Toronto's Poet in Community which means she is charged with using poetry in the service of the community—to address the needs, passions and interests of students, staff and faculty.

Not as formal as classroom or committee, or as casual as a coffee shop, it's a space that facilitates learning experiences without grades, without a teacher or boss.
