On July 6th the Vancouver Poetry Slam welcomes 3 time Toronto Poetry Slam team member Krystle Mullin.

Krystle Mullin’s distinct raspy voice may well be taller than she is (she stands only 5’3) but a lack of vertical height hasn’t stopped this spoken word artist from reaching unimaginable heights in a short period of time. She has been performing for 3 years and has already toured across Canada and the U.S., been a 3-time member of the Toronto Slam Team and performed at esteemed festivals such as Hillside and The Eden Mills Writers' Festival. She recently represented Toronto in both the CBC’s Poetry Face-Off and the Women of the World Slam.

This is another qualifying oppourtunity for the Vancouver IWPS playoffs in September and another event generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts. Reigning Women of the World Representative for Vancouver, Sasha Langford will be hosting.

Bad news. Krystle has had to cancel.

In her place, we will have Mumbles & Dusty Rose as our feature.
