Spontaneous magic; IF THE POET meets Mobeen Lalani and Hussein-Jose Kassam at the Aga Khan Museum. Directed by Ian Keteku. Poem performed is How To Write A Love Poem.
IF (Ian French) is a Performance Poet, musician, filmmaker, father and friend.
His poems channel the wisdom of Spirit, the rage of the wounded and the yearning that resides in every human heart. He says “every poem I write is a ‘shout out’ to the sacredness of our days, a three chord party jam, and a tribute to the triumph of love over fear.”
IF is a member of the 2013 National Champion “Toronto Poetry Slam Team”, winner of 2013 Buffalo International Slam and is the 2014 Canadian Individual Poetry Slam Champion. He has performed at various festivals including the prestigious Word On The Street and Words Aloud. IF writes his best poetry while walking and can often be seen wandering the streets, gesticulating wildly and muttering to himself.
