The inaugural staging of the Jamaica Poetry and Music Symposium is set for this Sunday at the Institute of Jamaica.
It will be held under the theme 'Taking Ownership and Responsibility – Transforming Lives, Shaping Our Future'.
Chief organiser, poet Yasus Afari says plans are coming together well despite a few hurdles.
The symposium begins at 10 a.m. and features several sessions, including presentations and panel discussions. The symposium will also consider the premise that "every song is a poem set to music".
At the event, several creative industry insiders will come together in hopes of creating working solutions to problems within the business.
