The Vancouver Poetry Slam
Canada’s Longest Running Poetry Slam Continues!
@ Cafe deux Soleils: 2096 Commercial Drive (Commercial & 4th Ave.)
Normally, the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Monday of every month is the Van Slam, a regular poetry slam open to everyone (read more about the rules)
The 2nd Monday of every month is the Alt Slam, a themed poetry night
The 4th Monday of every month is the Youth Slam, for competitors between the ages of 13-22 (but for audiences of all ages!)
This will be the first semi-final play-off night to determine the Vancouver Slam Poetry Team, which will represent Vancouver at next year’s National Poetry Slam and Canada Festival of Spoken Word. The 16 top scoring poets in the 2007-08 Van Slam season will have earned a berth in these play-offs. 8 of them will perform on each of the two semi-final nights.
This bout will feature the following poets:
Mary Alice, Julian Bentley, Sean McGarragle, Al Mader, RadaR, The Svelte Ms. Spelte, Spillious, and Clint ‘Father Goose’ Wilson
The top 4 poets from each semi-final will then qualify for the Finals Nights to be held on May 5th at the WISE Hall. Finals Night regularly sells out, so be sure to buy a ticket early. Tickets will be available for sale at each semi-final night.
Our feature for this slam is Logan Phillips.
