The People's Poetry Festival Presents Cobra Collins : Haunted: Writing from the past, for an uncertain future.
Explore the idea of creating something beautiful in a dying world. Join Cobra as she focuses on how we can craft stories for an unseen future, while digging into our collective pasts. What will we leave behind and how do we want to be remembered? In the end all of our writing is a eulogy, what will be your epitaph?
Cobra Collins (She/Her) is a Métis poet of significant height based in Mohkinstsis (Calgary) - Treaty 7 Territory.
Cobra was the captain and coach of Calgarys 2015 and 2016 Slam team, representing our city on a national level at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word and was a member of Calgarys Inkspot Spoken Word Collective, home of Calgary's official poetry Slam.
Cobra has participated in several Nationwide Spoken Word festivals, as well as collaborated with artists of different backgrounds for dance (Fluid Movements Arts Festival) and performance festivals (IKG 1 ! Live Performance Festival). Cobra was honoured to be shortlisted as a nominee for Calgary's 2016 & 2018 poet laureate. Above all things, Cobra truly believes that our words can change us.
