[admin]

On February 1st the Vancouver Poetry Slam is very proud to present former Grand Slam Champ, Scruffmouth.

Kevan ‘Scruffmouth’ Cameron is a writer, poet and performer based out of the concrete rainforest of the lower mainland. He is a two-time veteran of the Vancouver Poetry Slam team and the host of the monthly Art of Words Poetry Jam series.

This SFU alumnus has been published in We Have A Voice: African & Caribbean Student Writing and Blood Ink: A University of Alberta Literary Journal. Kevan Cameron is currently the creative director for the Black Dot Roots & Culture Collective, a group of artists and professionals dedicated to the education, creation and celebration of the autochthonous and indigenous experience of original peoples at home and abroad through the art of storytelling and the act of connecting the dots of the community.

He has self-published three chapbooks: The Seventh Sense (2007)., P.A.I.D. (2008)., and Choose Your Revolution (2008). His new chapbook, New Word Order (2010)., is a literary manifesto inspired by dub poetry, hip-hop and “the message is the music.”
