Spencer Butt

Spencer Butt is a veteran performance poet, and has featured at events like The Art Gallery of Ontario’s First Thursdays, The Royal Ontario Museum’s Friday Night Live, Word on the Street, and Long Winter Toronto. His first collection Slouching the Dream was published in 2016, and his poems have recently appeared in publications like Poetry is Dead and Filling Station. Outside of the poetry world he’s a dad, a nerd, and writes for a tech company, three things that help keep his writing simple, keep the pop culture references flowing, and make connections as fast as possible. He lives and works in Toronto.
