Angelic Goldsky

Angelic Goldsky (t[he?]y) incants at the crossroads of poetry, performance, community imagining, media art and spiritual mercy. A queer and trans magician rooted in a diasporic lineage of Post-Soviet Jewish 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 twice (2023, 2024) and represented Canada in the LGBTQ+ showcase at the World Poetry Championship in Brussels (2022).
