This is a massive launch and reading!
This grassroots community-based festival will
introduce the oral traditions of poetry (which include beat
Jazz poetry, Dub poetry, Hip Hop Poetry, Slam Poetry and Storytellers)
to a young audience as well as presenting mature works to
the more sophisticated audience. Spoken Word poetry has a
strong music component. This is a genre that Albertans seem
to be interested in (as proven by the attendance of the first
festival).
