Sadiqa de Meijer, City of Kingston Poet Laureate in text, with three of her books.

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 

Learn more about the Poet Laureate program and read past Poet Laureates' work on the City of Kingston website.
