Toronto's Steven McCabe will feature at London Open Mic's National Poetry Month event on April 6th at Mykonos Restaurant.
Steven McCabe is a poet and multidisciplinary artist. He is the author of four full-length poetry collections, has co-authored a chapbook, and is the creator of six poetry videos. These were begun after ‘Hierarchy of Loss’ (2007) and were completed 2009-2013. While his work was included in a couple anthologies during this time, his poetic energies were directed toward the videos. After breaking an ankle on the final day of May 2014, he destroyed all his unedited poetry prior to 2014. Most recently he authored a 'wordless poem,' Nevermore Together (The Porcupine's Quill press, 2014), using 120 linocut prints. A link to his interview about the idea of a ‘wordless’ poem is included below. He has performed poetry with musicians, dancers & multimedia presentations. He creates digital & original visual art @ his Wordpress blog poemimage, creating a parallel visual narrative to accompany Canadian and International poetry. He is currently editing a new poetry manuscript. The first drafts he is working on may become a straight text poem or may be incorporated into ‘poemics,’ combinations of comics and poetry.
