Guelph Spoken Word

Raising voices since 2008

We're still here through the pandemic!

Staying connected to creativity and community during these times of fear and isolation is more important than ever. With that in mind, Guelph Spoken Word has adjusted our programming to online platforms until it is safe to gather in person.

Join us at our monthly Off the Page Writer's Open Mic including a feature set (!!) on the 3rd Saturday of every month at 7:30pm ET. Indigenous community members are also invited to join a monthly Indigenous Writer's Circle led by Hope Engel on the 4th Monday of the month at 6:30pm ET. And starting July 3rd we have a series of five workshops led by Kai Cheng Thom called Poetic Skills for Grounding and Growth. Hope to "see" you there!

We miss seeing your faces at the eBar, and until we can be there please check out our upcoming programs below! Thank you to the City of Guelph for supporting our programming during the pandemic.
"You will find poetry nowhere, unless you bring some of it with you."

Guelph Spoken Word operates on the traditional territory of the Chonnonton, Anishinaabek, and Haudenosaunee peoples, and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge the Two Row Wampum and Dish With One Spoon Covenant, and are responsible for upholding the agreements our ancestors made here. Indigenous peoples are integral to the story of this land. It is up to each of us to repair the damage done by settlers and the state of Canada, and build relationships based on reciprocity, respect and reconciliation. ​
