A fab article lled Street Sounds, Street Writers was written by Christopher Jones over at the City of Toronto’s Live With Culture site:

“Sound Poets ringleader, rose, says her group is committed to ‘bringing together a community that doesn’t have a lot of access. We did outreach at shelters and youth agencies. I don’t think we’ve ever worked with a broader range of people and styles: we have queer youth and politil youth and Native youth, people who might never come together otherwise.’ ”

And check out leb and Rosina, as they represent the group on Daytime Toronto, a Rogers TV show. Hilarious interview. Amazing piece performed by leb!

Since the launch of the workshop series on March 11, 2013, the Sound Poets’ Circle has served as a platform for Toronto youth. Participants have connected as collective minds to learn, experiment, and express themselves through the art of hip–‐hop, sound poetry and spoken–‐word. Over the cycle of the workshop, participants worked individually and in groups to hone personal pieces and create collective artistic MP3s, which will be available at the event.

A couple weeks ago, the whole group worked together to make a zine about writing. Each person made a page or two. We tackled topics like why we write, what it means to us, and the pain/joy/love/tharsis associated with the process. We’ve snned it in and uploaded it. Check it out for yourself:
