Poetry Lab is launching its inaugural live TV programming this month.

Poetry Lab is launching its inaugural live TV programming this October through PoetTV (hosted on Caffeine.tv). The programs, which run the gamut between spoken word performance, slam poetry, interviews and short films.

Poetry Lab is a creative incubator for spoken word artists and art professionals. We are focused on cultivating accessible, virtual stages through which Canada’s most innovative and powerful voices can share multidimensional interpretations of their work, process, and community.
Poetry Lab is working on a wide variety of exciting projects including our work with the inaugural cohort of the Poetry Lab Incubator. The 2022 cohort includes World Poetry Slam champion Ian Keteku, beloved performance artist Janice Jo Lee, former Edmonton Poet Laureate Nisha Patel, multi-award-winning artist Zoey Roy, and acclaimed poet and author Brandon Wint.
Alongside these individuals’ unique program releases, Poetry Lab will also release interviews and live performances from other slam poetry artists throughout October. From interviews on creative process to experimental audio-visual collages and spoken word short films and cinepoems, Poetry Lab’s 2022 cohort digs deep and inspires, opening up a world of spoken word which will appeal to poetry readers, performance art fans, and anyone connected to creative processes.
Spoken word is an art form that often exists in obscurity—in pockets of community that often must be discovered for one’s self. Poetry Lab seeks to provide a global, enriching stage for spoken word to be celebrated, while inviting more communities to experience artists and their art for the first time.

Poetry lab is accessible for all in a post-pandemic world: it is 100% virtual and free.

PoetTV will have broadcasts throughout the entire month of October, and will feature World Poetry Slam champion Ian Keteku, beloved performance artist Janice Jo Lee, former Edmonton Poet Laureate Nisha Patel, multi-award-winning artist Zoey Roy, and acclaimed poet and author Brandon Wint. Alongside these individuals’ unique program releases, Poetry Lab will also be releasing exclusive interviews, hosting the 26th annual VanSlam poetry contest, and rebroadcasting highlights from When Brothers Speak and When Sisters Speak, North America’s largest and longest running showcase of black spoken word artists.
