The article profiles Canadian author Shane Koyczan. Having grown up in Yellowknife and Penticton, Shane embodies the small-town artist's dream. After studying creative writing at Okanagan University College, he moved to the big city to seek out a writing scene and stumbled across his calling. Just six years since being named the first non-American winner of the highly coveted individual title at the National Poetry Slam, Shane is in Toronto to be honoured at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word.
