Megan Ann Ward is a poet based in Montreal. She won the title of 2012 Montreal Slam Champion, 2011 Victoria Slam Champion, 2010 Vic Slam Team member, competed at the 2011 Canadian Individual Slam Championships, took part in the 2011 Victoria Spoken Word Festival as well as multiple Canadian Festival Of Spoken Word festivals and has performed naked on multiple occasions and may be touring in a town near you soon.

Megan has been writing poetry and prose since her grandma gave her a pink journal when she was 8 years old, and started performing about 5 years ago. She writes from a place of passion and of raw and heartfelt honesty. She tells the story of her battles with addiction, of hospitals and the streets, of losing and finding faith, love and heartbreak and sometimes even writes about sex.
Her comfort food is baked lasagne, and she would love to hear your stories over coffee after the show.
