Montreal's Throw! Poetry Collective

20 Mar 2023 • 07:00 PM–08:00 PM Eastern

Knox Church + streamed online

Hosted by BeWyrd

The Throw! Poetry Collective runs a monthly poetry slam in Tio'tia:ke (aka Montreal). Local poets compete in an inclusive, bilingual space and a professional poet or author is featured at half-time to inspire the next generation. At Throw!, it's about the poetry and not the points because, as Jason 'Blackbird' Selman put it: "Poetry saves lives; poetry allows us to be human in a world that continuously tries to rinse that out of us."
