Kirk Ramdath is a mainstay among Calgary’s poets and spoken-word
artists. His “Passion Pitch” poetry series has brought together a wide
range of writers to share their words and music, drinks and discussion
in an era when the open mic reading, so fertile a ground
for many writers practicing today, has been abandoned. He has organized
poetry in the park readings and as well as some of the readings in the
Single Onion series. Kirk’s poetry has appeared in chapbooks, journals,
and on stage – he was one of the first readers in the Calgary
Spoken-Word Festival’s “Smart Men, Hot Words” readings. His poetry is
noted, appropriately, given the reading series he founded, for its
passion and sensuality.
