of Canada

Canadian spoken word is unique. Juxtaposed directly between the cultural tumult of the United States and the nation's own (and very direct) British and French heritages, Canada's poetic mosaic is vivid, literate, articulate, and diverse. It has a particular connection to the audio arts, a collective voice that blooms in the shading of words by music and theater. Yet the language remains studied, considered, and precise.
