This Black History Month edition of the Peterborough Poetry Slam will feature Toronto veteran Dane Swan who has featured in more than a dozen North American cities and competed in numerous poetry slams, including the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word (placing 2nd) and the Rust Belt Regional Slam (placing 3rd), with the Toronto Team. In addition to his live performances, Dane has published anthologies of his work and contributed to various CD projects.
The fiery battle of words will be followed by a fireshow presented by PyroFlys Circus which is certain to awe and amaze the audience.
To really give this slam a change of scene, we will be ending the night with some music and dancing with our good friend DJ Mario Roldan, so come give us what you got!

- two round slam
- no props, costumes, or music
- 3 minute 10 second time limit, per poem
- half-point deduction for every 10-seconds overtime
