About Word Iz Bond Spoken Word Artist's Collective
Word Iz Bond was formed with the support of the Black Students Advising Centre of Dalhousie University and has since grown to include many different poets and has performed collectively and as individuals in many different venues. WIB is a group of individual spoken word artists, dedicated to promoting the art in Nova Scotia and beyond.
This year, Word Iz Bond is launching the biggest-ever Speak! Series with support of the Canada Council, so stay tuned for announcements about all the fabulous poets we'll be bringin' in throughout the year.
The WIB Youth Speak! Series will be happening again this year at the North Branch Library.
And in 2007, the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word will be taking place in Halifax. If anyone has ideas or input, please contact us with your thoughts on the event. We will be looking for volunteers to billet poets, work the door and sell merchandise.
Thanks for the friendship and support!!! I know I've been quiet for a while but I'm working on some new stuff so please check out my page in the coming months. One!

Hey, thanks for the add, guys. You're really great, I need to get in contact with you. I would love to work with you. I'm a poet looking to get out there. I graduate this year and I want to make a career for myself with my writing and spoken word.
The Art Farm would like to personally thank you for your support! Please help us spread the word about the work that we are doing. There are many young artists who need inspiration, support and instruction and just can not afford it. your support, even just in thought is a great help. Blessings to you and yours and may your life be full of light!
