An incontournable of Montreal's spoken word scene since the early '90s, Catherine Kidd has forged a reputation as one of the nation's most surprising and inspiring voices for page and stage. Her award-winning multimedia poetic creations have toured Europe, Asia, Africa, UK, US and Canada.

Kaie Kellough is a Montréal word-sound systemizer. He is the author of Lettricity and Maple Leaf Rag, the latter of which was nominated for the Manuela Dias design award. Kaie is the voice of one sound recording, Vox:Versus, a suite of conversations between voice and instrument.

Kaie's print and sound work is underwritten by rhythm and by a desire to dis-and re-assemble language and meaning. Kaie's work emerges where voice, language, music, and text intersect. He blends word-games with sound poetry, dub, and jazzoetry. He has performed and published internationally. Kaie is presently working on short fiction, on poems that say goodbye, and on a new sound works.
