About our feature:
Angelic Goldsky (t[he?]y) [aka Angelicunt] incants at the crossroads of poetry, performance, MCing, community imagining, and spiritual mercy. A queer and trans magician, shadow walker, sweet-talker and curse-talker, rooted in a diasporic lineage of Post-Soviet Jewitch heritage, they are immersed in the uses of the poetic, music, and magic for transmuting complex trauma into rhythm, release, and ultimately, permanent liberation. Formerly the Poet in Residence at the Roundhouse Community Centre (2021), Angelic was shortlisted for the Canadian League of Poets Canadian Spoken Word Award (2023 and 2024) and represented Canada in the LGBTQ+ showcase at the World Poetry Championship in Brussels (2022).
Come out for an amazing show
