Welcoming Sadiqa de Meijer, Kingston's next Poet Laureate
Congratulations to Sadiqa de Meijer, appointed the City of Kingston’s fourth Poet Laureate! This honorary four-year term position celebrates the contribution of poetry and literary arts to life in Kingston.
"As someone who was born in Amsterdam to a Dutch-Kenyan-Pakistani-Afghani family and moved to Canada as a child — “I’m foreign, and she is home” — she offers a unique perspective on the city that resonates with those new to this city or country. Sadiqa’s voice, as a woman, a mother, and migrant to Kingston, brings a diverse and inclusive voice to the role of Poet Laureate." - City of Kingston
