Monday March 1, 2010. Queer West's newspaper held their first event called Bent Expressions: An evening of poetry and spoken word (Poetry slam) it was such a smashing success on Sunday January 24th. 2010. A another queer lit party, is in the early planning stages.
Since these are all professional artists, not amateurs. Organizing them can be a little more difficult. It's worth a few hassles. All artists are door money, get 10-12 minutes, the Arts Collective does fundraising, a win-win situation. This is why they tear up Queer Toronto, finding the Best of Best for your enjoyment.
The Press Club was a good venue, owners were happy with beer sales, but 70 people was a tight squeeze. They think we can do 120 second event. The next event will be on West Queen West. Fans asked them to add musicians, more spoken word renegades and more sex in the city poetry sluts, to the next event. Location TBA
Most of the January performers identified with Church St. gay village poetry nights. Being welcomed in new queer space in the west end of the city was a pleasant surprise.
The spoken word artists and poets in mindful sexuality, recite their handcrafted poetry about love, sexuality, intimacy, and romance. Sharing personal experiences, based on their direct experience of investigating the body, spirit and mind in connection, these poets will inspire and intrigue you. Hear their words on spontaneity, surrender, desire and jealousy. Understand what it’s like to leave no part out.
If you are interested in reading at this erotic event contact the Arts Collective. If you live out of town?. We were thinking of trying a Skype or (voIP) ook up so you won't miss the fun. Please drop a line to the event promoters Michel: queerwestinfo@gmail.com or Toronto poet Philip Cairns(fullmoon@auracom.com)
