• Happiness Reflected: A Community Poetry Project is a chapbook collection of original poems that were submitted by University of Alberta community members as they explored perspectives and questions about their own happiness. Intentionally curated by Days of Action for International Day of Happiness 2023, it is a component of the Happiness Reflected community arts initiative which included displaying the poems on posters across all campus libraries from March 20-31, and a 4-episode Happiness Reflected podcast which reflected on what the poems in the collection can help us learn about happiness and how how we can cultivate meaningful happiness in our lives. The Happiness Reflected Community Poetry Project has been made possible through partnership with University of Alberta Library and the Sound Studies Institute.
