He forgot his next line at the Canadian Individual Poetry Slam three years in a row. He likes facilitating groups where people reveal parts of themselves and resonate with each other. He believes vitality is abundant in connection and scarce in isolation. He leads with his own masculinity. Through softness\, courage\, and humility. His goal as a poet is to listen. To be a clap of thunder. The drop of a pin. A candle in the dark.

SUMMARY:Vancouver Poetry Slam ft. Nate Nate Nainers
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver Poetry Slam warms it up featuring Nate Nate Nainers!\nMonday\, Nov 2nd\nEnabling Arts (343 Railway Street\, Unit #104)\nDoors: 7pm | Sign-up: 7:30 | Show: 8pm\n$8 Advance | $10-15 at the door (no one turned away for lack of funds) \nAdvance tickets: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/vancouver-poetry-slam-ft-nate-nate-nainers \nAbout the feature Nate Nate Nainers: \nNate Nate Nainers (they/she) is a settler of Scottish and mixed European descent who grew up on Katzie and Kwantlen unceded territories (Maple Ridge\, BC)\, and currently lives on Kwikwetlem unceded territory (Port Coquitlam\, BC). \nNainers’ full-length collection of poems\, Smokin’ Holy Spirits (Galleon Books\, Fall 2026)\, explores themes on neurodivergence\, queerness\, and recovery from leaving the evangelical church. Inspired by the emotionally dynamic art of clown\, this book is surreal and absurd\, oscillating between poignancy and befuddlement.  \nIn 2025 they wrote and produced two 40 minute spoken word shows with music\, “Jerald the Space Bear” and “Berry Stained Teeth\,” which were showcased at North Vancouver’s Arts in the Garden\, and open.mic.night.1 @ DCTRL. In December of that year\, they were a featured artist for SAD Magazine with their short story\, “I Did It All For The Cookie.” \nIn December 2024 they competed at the Vancouver Story Slam Championship at the Vogue Theatre.  They were placed 3rd for their fan favourite story\, Oath of the Lap Dog.  In their entire history at VSS\, Nainers has yet to place below third\, nor above first. \nNainers engages their community by organizing festivals\, initiatives\, and events\, past and present\, such as: Parade of Lost Souls\, Food Not Bombs YVR\, Wizard Walks\, Whoa Whoa Hey Now Cabaret\, Myths and Such Storytelling Show\, and the League of Fuddy Duddies with Silly Hats. \nThey studied literature and mythology at the University of British Columbia and the University of the Fraser Valley.
