We're back for a hot slam during the hot Toronto summer! (But all good, cuz the Drake has A/C)
Our spoken word competition features the amazing RUSTY PRISKE from Ottawa! He's been getting on stage to share his poetry for eight years and in that time he has been on the Capital Slam team SIX times, including 2009 when the team won the National Championship. He is a former member of The Recipe and the Copper Conundrum and his work has appeared on eight CDs, in four chapbooks, and his two full-length poetry books, Rusty Priske: Trapeze Artist and the brand new This is Day One.
Rusty has been the Slam Master at CapSlam for six years and is also the Spoken Word Canada National Slam Master and the founder of the VERSeOttawa Hall of Honour.
His greatest contribution to Slam in Canada may be the proliferation of the word 'Penultimate’.
