Episode 15: CFSW 2008 and Superhero Poets!

Throw It Thru Your Speakers is back
and my ears are still hot from the headphones!

All that editing feels so sexy. You know what else is sexy? Throw Poetry Collective's 2nd season of monthly poetry slams happening on the third Friday of every month at Parc Des Prince in Montreal. The first slam will be a combined ALBUM launch at CASA DEL POPOLO on Sunday January 18th in association with Ian Ferrier's Words and Music! The next slam will be on Friday Feb 20th at our new location Parc Des Prince. We are continuing to run our monthly organic jam sessions called THE VIBE (new venue to be confirmed) and we'll be starting our workshop series again at Apathy Is Boring with experienced poets facilitating. Get ready to live your poetic dreams people! All of these events are open to your participation and passion. Throw Poetry Collective is always seeking new volunteers, poets and dreamers, get in touch ya'll at throwcollective@gmail.com

This episode introduces old and new Throw listeners to my new co-host/producer Rob Hoover. You may remember him from poignant Throw Slam performances such as "Here We Are", "Fightbook" and the poem he won the Finals with last June, "Rock Shack." We talk about the Montreal team's experience at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word held this past November in Calgary. I also play three very special live poetry tracks for you!

In the upcoming months, you'll start to see more and more ways you can become involved in the podcast by recording comments which we'll play. We are going to start on air workshops where you can submit a recording of one of your poems, or come on the show live for one of our features to constructively critique your work. (If you guys have got the balls that is!) And we want to integrate new ways for the various poetic communities in each city in Canada to be featured. We want to create dialogue and inspiration for all the spoken word poets across Canada and the globe. ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES! The more you stoke that creative fire in you, the more we can produce, get our voices out to those who want to listen and come together as a national and global community of truth tellers.

The Throw Poetry Collective Community currently reaches out and sends all their loving kindness to the Capital Poetry Collective in Ottawa and Steve Sauve.

Keep activating those miracles brothers and sisters!
