On stage

Spoken word – that hybrid of poetry, politics and performance – is a fast-growing literary genre, and there’s a good reason for that. Writers present their work with a passion that’s always inspiring, and Toronto’s considered the country’s essential breeding ground for spoken word talent. See what I mean when the Canadian Festival Of Spoken Word hits town from Tuesday (October 11) to October 15. Some of our best, including Krystle Mullin and Brendan McLeod, as well as crossover stars d’bi.young, Evalyn Parry and others hit the stage in team and individual performances and competition.
