More Oral Magic: The 2012 Victoria Spoken Word Festival

No?  How about some poetry then?

After a successful inaugural run last year the Victoria Spoken Word Festival is back for more in 2012 and so, apparently, am I.  For the second year running I will be on-hand to comment on the festivities, bringing the magic of the Spoken Word Festival to the frail, housebound and triple-booked.  


Just like last year, tickets are cheap ($5-$10) so try to make it out to one of the events at either Cafe Solstice or the Intrepid Theatre, from Thursday to Friday night.  Click the first link below for scheduling information.

A Little Oral Magic - Victoria's First Spoken Word Festival

The very first Victoria Spoken Word Festival is happening this weekend, from Thursday to Saturday.  I'll be in attendance covering the event for the University of Victoria's radio station, CFUV.  Click the links below for my take on the proceedings as well as event information.  Tickets are cheap, so come out and hear some spoken word and performance poetry.
