About our feature poet:
C-Command is a rapper, poet, and flow enthusiast. He seeks to capture and represent the euphoric momentum of a human mind making sense of things. He has a background in acting for film and stage, and in 2012 he got a B.F.A. in Theatre Performance from Concordia in Montreal. In April he placed 2nd at the Canadian Individual Poetry Slam Championship in Vancouver. Outside of word arrangement, some of his favourite things to do are jamming, party-dancing, and chess.

Poetry Slam and Open Mic Featuring 2-time Vancouver slam team member Erin Kirsh Sat Nov 30th 2013 Little Bean Coffee Bar 417 King St West Sign up at 7pm, Open Mic at 7:30, Slam begins at 8 $5 or Pay What You Can   About our feature poet: Erin Kirsh is a Vancouver based writer, a spoken word poet, and a generally enthusiastic person. She is a two time member of the Vancouver Poetry Team and the Canadian 2012/2013 Haiku Death Match Champion. She has a dirty mouth, cute neuroses, and understands that the only reason she gets away with saying the things she does is because she has a baby face. She will pretend to be all eyelashes, when really, she is only somewhat eyelashes and lots and lots of teeth. Her poetry is the result of cynicism and whimsy getting together and drinking too much. Erin likes playing, cats and making fun of stuff she loves. kwpoetryslam.com facebook event
