ABOUT THE ARTIST 
Angelic Goldsky (t[he?]y) [aka Angelic Vers & Angelicunt] incants at the crossroads of poetry, performance, MCing, community imagining, media art and spiritual mercy. A queer and trans magician 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 (2024) and represented Canada in the LGBTQ+ showcase at the World Poetry”–Ottawa Market.
