I have the amazing fortune of getting to spend two weeks as a resident artist as part of the inaugural Banff Centre for the Arts Spoken Word Program. The incredible Sheri-D Wilson pulled together 15 of Canada’s most exciting spoken word talent and along with our amazing “peer mentors” Ian Ferrier, D. Kimm, and Bob Holman we performed our poems as a part of the 2008 Calgary International Spoken Word Festival. I performed two new poems MAIDEN SONG and OLYMPIA CAN NOT BURN.
