For those poetry writers in Toronto, there's a Poetry Slam on Friday at 9pm at the Victory Cafe (581 Markham Street, near Bathurst and Bloor). Poetry slams being competitive live poetry composition/reading. There's a $5 cover at this one. For the less rambunctious lovers of the word, there's a Poetry Meetup on Saturday at 4pm at the World's Biggest Bookstore, $2 cover at this one. (I'm not affiliated with either, but I'm planning to attend at least the latter, and likely the former)
