Poetry Night in Ottawa

(UPDATE:) This page was for the 2006 event.
Click here for the 2007 event at the 4th Stage in Ottawa.

CBC Poetry Face-Off: Ottawa, 7:00 pm. National Arts Centre, 4th Stage

Ottawa's CBC Poetry Face-Off Winner, D'Janau (DJ) Morales!

P.S.
That is some product placement on the back of her left hand for the Ottawa Poetry Podcast. (ottawapoetry@hotmail.com) The writing reminds me of the kind of advertising seen in prime-time boxing where a boxer may have 'goldenpalace.com online casino' written on their bodies for advertisement. Golden Palace is infamously known for buying this kind of schlocky yet high-visibility advertising whether it be from a renegade 'fan' leaping into an olympic diving pool or buying a piece of burnt toast with a religious image emblazoned on it on eBay.

In any case, more photos of the evening's poetry event can be viewed here: photos.johnwmacdonald.com

All proceeds from the entry fee went to the English Language Tutoring for the Ottawa Community. ELTOC provides free home tutoring for adult immigrants who cannot attend regular English programs.
