We meet resilience in every corner we\u2019ve been backed into, every hardship that we endure. Resilience is geographical, spiritual, historical. It\u2019s the fight against climate change, the inner battle with mental health, the outcry for human rights and an end to systemic racism. Resilience is the backbone of generations of trauma, the silence at the dinner table, the bow to culture\u2019s violin. Resilience is the courage to start each day anew. This NPM 2021, we celebrate, reflect on and respect the resilience that has made us who we are.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April is National Poetry Month in Canada and the theme this year is resilience.
