Reading at SPINLAW 2013:
Spreading the Roots and Reach of the Living Tree
By Jorge Antonio Vallejos
Early this year I was commissioned to write a poem for the SPINLAW conference, 30 Years Under the Living Tree: Reflections on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, that took place March 16 2013 at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto.
I wrote four posts about my writing process for this poem:
When Commissioned To Write A Poem part One and part Two.
Points To Ponder When Commissioned To Write A Poem
It’s About Community, Not Competetion #2
I also did a VLOG about things to consider if and when commissioned to write a poem:
When Commissioned To Write A Poem…
And a VLOG about the help I got from fellow poet Whitney French for the poem:
It’s About Community, Not Competetion #2.
Attached below is the video of me reading the poem at the conference!
