Hi guys, I like to go to live poetry readings/spoken word events. I enjoy them because they bring writers/poets from all different backgrounds and experiences - the poetry is often very thought-provoking, inspiring, funny. Sometimes there's swearing/r-rated language but most of the the content is realistic and intelligent. I'm going to my next poetry event with the Toronto Poetry Slam on Nov 21 at the Drake (1150 Queen West). Starts at 7pm. Have to get their early though to get good seats. Not sure if this is an introvert event - but may be of interest. There are poetry readings happening across the city weekly. Interested?
