Week 7: Shauntay Grant & Tanya Evanson

  • サマリー

  • What is spoken word poetry? A broad designation for poetry intended for performance. Spoken word poetry has its roots in oral traditions, fusing elements of rap, hip-hop, storytelling, theatre, jazz, rock, blues, and folk music.


    In celebration of Black History Month, I want to share the work of two amazing spoken word artists: Shauntay Grant, a writer and storyteller from Kjipuktuk (Halifax, Nova Scotia), who served as the third poet laureate for Halifax Regional Municipality from 2009 to 2011, and Tanya Evanson, who has published two poetry collections are Bothism (Ekstasis 2017) and Nouveau Griot (Frontenac 2018). Her first novel Book of Wings (2021) is published by Véhicule Press.
