It will be an opportunity for Vancouver audiences to experience some of the most cutting-edge spoken word presentations in Canada and the world, supporting the further expansion of the local spoken word community to support outstanding artists to present their work on an ongoing basis.http://vancouverpoetryfestival.com/
