Defending The Title. And The Rhythm And Verse

CBC radio has launched the 2007 Poetry Face-Off tournament.

70 poets will go at it in 14 cities, with the winners being showcased during April's National Poetry Month.

There is a lot of talent in this competition. I'm personally looking forward to the Face-off in Ottawa; John Akpata, DJ Morales (Vocab), Q the Romantic Revolutionary, etc.

For more information, check out the official site.

In other news, I heard that Deal or No Deal: Canada is being filmed at the CBC broadcast centre in Toronto. So, one network (Global Television) is using another network's studios for their program. Isn't that ironic? Don't you think?
