Launch of a poetry chapbook by jaz papadopoulos, Poet in Residence with the St. Boniface Hospital Spiritual Health Team
12 November 2026
St. Boniface Hospital’s Spiritual Health department has a special role. The bedrock of their work is being present—a simple but incredibly powerful act. Through listening, reflection, and conversation they offer practical assistance and spiritual guidance. The team works deeply with resilience and vulnerability, those two most human qualities
Capturing this kind of work is difficult, but there is a strong tradition in poetry of articulating spiritual experiences. GBG’s curator, hannah_g, has commissioned the poet, jaz papadopoulos, to write a collection of poems in response to spending time with St. Boniface’s Spiritual Health team. jaz has also run poetry writing workshops with the team and some of them may share their poems in a public reading. The collection will be published as a chapbook and launched in November 2026, as part of the What Colour is the Sacred? exhibition. We hope you will attend this event!
