TIME OF THE POET REPUBLIC goes to Canada. We have since started a collaborative project with gifted Storyteller, Avid Writer and rising Projects Curator and Brave Voices Poetry Journal Canadian Associate DARCIE FRIESEN HOSSACK. Time of the Poet values are rooted in promotion of Diversity, Inclusivity and Creativity. And based on that it is vital to organize international Digital Literary Arts Collaborations with the goal of promoting Tolerance among communities, love, Diversity of Ideas, Dialogue and Togetherness. We need to celebrate Voices and as such feature them on the Digital Literary Arts Thickets. This time our Collaboration is based on Poetry and Flash Fiction that speak tolerance, peacebuilding, diversity of ideas and human freedoms. Thematic areas are Tolerating a Diversity of Ideas, matters of race, cultural diversity, peace -building, international Cultural integrations and tolerance. Situations like COVID -19 teaches us to embrace each other and work together for the good of selves and the entire world.
