Union Station

We are excited to present Poetry in Union: Railway Lines and Valentines, a public art experience in collaboration with The League of Canadian Poets. Join us on Friday, February 14th in the West Wing for a truly romantic, enlightening and breathtaking experience.

Making use of the spirit of Valentine’s Day to offer people personalized poetry. Share your story and the poets will transform them into personal poems as a keepsake.

At this event, eight of Toronto’s strongest, most diverse and most talented poets will provide personalized poetry on request to reflect participants’ own experiences and stories. This is a unique opportunity to interact directly with an artist to create a romantic valentine’s gift, or to celebrate a friend, experience, or key moment to be celebrated.

This Valentine’s Day–themed event is the perfect way to add a touch of art, poetry, and romance to the daily lives of commuters and travelers in Toronto. In addition to original poetry, commuters will have access to free treats and hot chocolate, romantic gifts, spoken word poetry performances and live piano.
