In CBC Radio's third annual “spoken word” Poetry Face-Off seventy poets from across Canada were commissioned to write poems on the theme of "belonging". This CD features the 14 winners from across Canada, each one claiming victory in an earlier “slam poetry” competition. The over-all winner (Shane Koyczan from Vancouver, B.C.) was chosen by listeners who heard the poems on the CBC radio program “Sounds Like Canada.” The winners were Alison Pick (Newfoundland), John MacKenzie (New Brunswick), Steph Bernston (New Brunswick), Marinda Lavut (Nova Scotia), Alexis O’Hara (Quebec), John Akpata and D’bi.young (Ontario), Marvin Frances (Manitoba), Brenda Schmidt (Saskatchewan), John Leppard and Lesley Greentree (Alberta), Shane Koyczan and Hilary Peach (British Columbia) and Bob Mumford (the North).
