Vancouver poetry house presents feature poet, KT Jobs, KT is lost in the LGBTQ alphabet soup and awash on a sea of androgyny. A biology graduate, recovering addict and agriculture aficionado, KT uses both the academic and life lessons she’s learned to sow the seeds of environmental consciousness while offering vulnerable glimpses of her journey. A proverbial gender-bending badass, KT brings light to the rainbow spectrum giving audience more than enough organically grown food for thought to chew on throughout her performances. A recent fixture on the national spoken word community, KT has represented St.Catherines Poetry slam in CFSW, CIPS and Slamtario diligently for the last three years. An arts organizer, performer and maverick of a human being, KT is known to bring out the inner child and have them play in dirt.
