Moe Clark’s lyrically dynamic poetic style is truly unique as it thrives off the energy that surrounds and abounds the body, voice, and soul. Picking up sounds from the everyday, she enjoys studying the intricate glue that connects meaning to words. With a background in voice, visual arts, and performance, Moe brings a unique vibe to the stage of spoken word poetry. She’s performed in various festivals and events over the past four years, including the 2005 & 2007 Calgary International Spoken Word Festival, Liberate the Voice Day, and 2006 & 2007 International Women’s Day. At the 2007 “CBC Calgary Poetry Face Off”, Moe performed her piece “Intersecting Circles” and took home the winning prize. In the summer of ’07 her award-winning poem was hand-picked by the artistic director for the Charlottetown Confederation Centre for the Young Company’s 2007 summer performance “Alberta Fusion”.
