We can't wait to see you there 🐷🦋✨️ ✨️ We have an incredibly special guest joining us as our feature poet of the night!!! @iamoneofthemany One of the Many’s poetry incorporates every mile of his life’s journey: from his childhood as the son of immigrants and early days in frigid Winnipeg Manitoba, to his artistic coming of age in Toronto’s 1990s music scene. From running Toronto’s Chemical Recording Studio for the first part of the new millenium, to his return to Winnipeg and fifteen fallow years as a father and carpenter before the enforced isolation of the pandemic lockdown sparked his powerful return to words and music and the discovery of his true, singular voice. His poetry is dense and highly musical, hypnotically rhythmic and rhyming. He works strictly from memory and improvisation, performing alone as poet, accompanied by a piano player or live bass and drums, with a jazz quartet, or a full guitar-driven band. Travelling far beyond personal allegory and the requisite honesty, One sets off in search of universal truths. Rarely abstract but still full of space to inhabit, his work teems with memorable lines and phrases, a dizzying stack of nesting dolls to unpack. Alternating between gravity and buoyancy, tragedy and joy, the invisible forces that shape our human journeys, life's struggle is made tangible and beautiful. Abandoning both excessive navel gazing and the posturing thousand-yard stare, he stares unblinkingly into your eyes with dispassionate empathy, gently encouraging you to be the strange you wish to see in the world. ✨️ #poetry #poems #poetryslam #winnipegpoetryslam #winnipegevents #winnipeg #mbevents #manitoba #Canada #artists
