Spoken Word
by Azadeh Azad22-Nov-2009
The Canadian Festival of Spoken Word came to Victoria, British Columbia, on November 10th for a 5-day event. The festival featured the National Slam (over 60 slam poets and performers from across Canada) as well as open mics, workshops, late night showcases, and renowned spoken word artists such as C.R. Avery, Andrea Thompson, the Fugitives and Sherry D. Wilson. These are some of the poets whom I photographed and asked to write a poem for this photo essay.

This is a beautiful combination of art and words, quite possibly one of the most artistic photo essays I have seen on the site. It was thought provoking and very interesting to follow to end.
My favorite is Number 15. It feels so familiar. Thank you.
These are like kindergarden poetry! Oh my love! oh my buttocks!

I am uncomfortable with verses from #1. :O))
Thanks for sharing!

Victoria, British Columbia what a wonderful place. I was there many years ago and the beautiful scenary on the ferry trip from Vancouver to Victoria could inspire a few poems too.
