It's our regular season finale slam before Semis begins in Jan and it's s special slam because we are welcoming back a fan favourite - MAGPIE ULYSSES!

Magpie Ulysses is a dynamic performance poet and storyteller known for charming and slaying her audiences with intense stage presence and thoughtful insight about humanity. Writer, Rabble Rouser, fancy talker; Magpie began performing at the age of 17 to save her life. Since then she has performed across North America at hundreds of venues, is a veteran member of two national champion Vancouver poetry slam teams and was named a Poet of Honour at the Canadian festival Of Spoken Word In the Fall of 2012. Magpie has spent much of the past seven years heavily involved in the arts while living in and around rural BC. Having spent the past few years raising a new human and caring for her grandmother through alzheimer's disease, she has become increasingly interested in questions surrounding memory, place, body, aging and how we choose to tell our own stories.
