Community Event - Windsor/Leamington - The Windsor Poetry Slam featuring Samantha Badaoa
The Windsor Poetry Slam is back again for its monthly slam, and of course, it is going to be a marvelous night of poetry! To celebrate International Poetry Month, we've got a little treat for you! We have Windsor Poetry Slam's own Slammaster, Samantha Badaoa as our feature!
Samantha Badaoa is Windsor's 2015 and first ever Grand Slam Champion, as well as a three-time member of the Windsor Poetry Slam team. Her work has been published in places such as the Windsor Salt and The South Detroit Chapbook Series. She has edited several books for Windsor publisher Black Moss Press, and is currently studying Accounting at the University of Windsor.
She has acted as Slammaster for the Windsor Poetry Slam for the last two seasons and is currently holding the position of Windsor’s first ever Youth Poet Laureate. Her poetry is concerned with investigating the relationship between the divine and the mundane and with creating and sustaining hope. Samantha is enthusiastic about sharing an experience with people through slam poetry, and hopes to create spaces for people to experiment with expression.
