On Discovering Shane Koyczan

So this Shane guy is pretty interesting. He’s from Yellowknife and is a great poet, according to people who know things about poetry:

“Shane Koyczan is electrifying. It’s a rare poet who can make his audience laugh and cry; this is a writer who will break your heart, then heal it.” Val McDermid The Distant Echo

“Read Shane Koyczan...The future of poetry is in good hands.” Maya Angelou

“He makes you feel the depth of love, joy and pain in everyday life.” Joel Pott, Lead singer, Athlete

Check him out at Mother Press Media

He is, without a doubt, one of the best live poetry performers I have ever seen.

I cried at one of his performances. If you ever have a chance, go see him.
