 ce)\n\nTo register: info.igsf [at] mcgill.ca\n\nCome close out Indigenous 
 Awareness Week and kick off 9I制作厂免费's Inaugural LGBTQ2I+ History month by w
 riting love poems with Two-Spirit and Transmasculine +++ poet\, Smokii Sum
 ac. With a forthcoming book from Kegedonce Press\, Sumac is perhaps best k
 nown for his near-daily online haiku practice\, where he kept a kind of ru
 nning journal on Facebook using the hashtag #haikuaday to post musings on 
 his life (and love) regularly from 2016-2018. Over that period of two year
 s\, Sumac wrote haiku verses on gender\, Indigenous ceremony\, his cat\, t
 ransitioning\, changing his name\, his crushes\, and observations on falli
 ng in (and out) of love. Through all this\, Sumac found that at the centre
  of his writing\, is love. In times of America's current president and Ont
 ario's current premiere\, Sumac believes that we need #morelove. Always. A
 nd what's the best way to spread love? Perhaps there are many great ways\,
  but for Sumac\, it's always been the love poem. He's written love poems t
 o his car\, to his mother's great great grandmother\, to his partners\, hi
 s friends\, and yes\, even to his prosthetic dick. Sumac wants to help you
  spread the love! Whether you are feeling sexy\, asexy\, (or maybe both!)\
 , aromantic\, or into romance\, whether you want to write a love poem to y
 our favourite smoked meat sandwich\, or vegan brownie\, or to the land you
  were born from\, or the ocean you haven't seen in years\, or maybe you ha
 ve a crush or wedding vows to write! Whatever your pleasure\, all are welc
 ome to come share what you love\, who you love\, where you love\, why you 
 love\, and when\, on the page. (please bring a notebook and pen). Presente
 d as part of 9I制作厂免费 first LGBTQ2I+ Awareness Month. Co-presented by the In
 stitute for Gender\, Sexuality and Feminist Studies\, Indigenous Awareness
  Week. Part of 鈥淭he Arts of Trans\, Gender Diverse and Two-Spirit Lives鈥漒,
