Vancouver Poetry House Society

The vancouver poetry house society operates a poetry series (vancouver poetry slam) a poets in schools program (wordplay) an annual youth poetry festival (hullabaloo) and a professional poetry festival (verses festival of words). Volunteers fill vital front-of-house and production rolls at vancouver poetry house. Each week volunteers assist with our box office and hybrid production. These volunteers develop skills that make their work outstanding at our annual festival. We also have members of our community that serve in advisory rolls on programming accessibility equity and how best to make safe spaces. Virtual stages through which canada’s most innovative and powerful voices can share multidimensional interpretations of their work process and community. Poetry lab continues its work independently of vancouver poetry house.
