We are a pollinator and poetry garden at the corner of Bay & Strachan Streets.
We are putting out a call for poems for our poetry installation. The nature of Sunset Cultural Garden is to celebrate and reflect the cultural diversity of our neighbourhood and city.
We are looking for poetry in different languages on the theme of “SUNSETS” from anyone in the City of Hamilton. There are already 13 poems set in the first circle of the Garden. They are in Arabic, Chinese, Filipino, German, Gujarati, Korean, Michif, Portuguese, Romanian, Sicilian, Somali and Spanish.
Submissions should be in any other language including indigenous and be 5 to 50 words.
We are looking for your own original words. The winning submissions with the names of the authors will be permanently set in the Garden’s second circle.
Please submit your poem by email by June 30, 2025, with its English translation, your name, street and email addresses and phone number to: sunsetgardenbayfront@gmail.com
