Courageous truth telling with Tanya

Tanya
Join us for an evening of wordy wonderment, this fine Monday, with Tanya Neumeyer. Tanya is an emerging spoken word artist who has been learning to slam, that is to compete in an event featuring original performance poetry. She was the champion at Kingston's first slam and has tested the waters in Montreal and Burlington, while constantly experimenting at Toronto slams. Join us for a hot drink and un bon mot.

Is Toronto Tone Deaf

Is Toronto Tone Deaf??

If Mohamed moved a mountain and held an international concert on top, Toronto music writers, probably wouldn't show up.

drin kup - dr. ink

if I had a road
it would have a bar
it would be on a river

so people could come

a lot

and watch the bubbles
and play in the eddies
and wade
and float
away

a lot

people could
come
already drunk
leaving drunker
to make more love more
to their lovers, now and now and now again

a lot

and when men would fight
they could thrash about
chase their own resistance
push on
kick
and make splashes

a lot

we would all laugh

a lot

by the riverside
so much

youth, vanity, passion

and if someone went under
deep

over down

Image - in - can't lead without a poet - lovers of a nation

*******

no time for poetry?
well poetry doesn't take time
it makes time

make time
mother
can't lead without
a poet
lovers of a nation

*******

no shame
boundless leaps of ripe imagination
selfish, unapologetic, arrogant
imagine, this, imagine that

this?
that?

our failures - alternatives

the cat came back
the very next day

our murdering sprees - violence, is a poverty too

hey diddle diddle
the cat and the fiddle
the cow jumped over the moon

mediation, compassion - don't choose
take it all

the wick and the candle break new ground
