As you are all aware, Black History month is upon us. To help celebrate this, we will be bringing poets of African decent from across Canada. This week, a fellow Edmontontonian who resides in Vancouver will be gracing our stage.
Kevan has contributed heavily to the poetry community, and is a respected poet. He was also one of the poets who were on the final stage in the 2011 CFSW
