Johnny MacRae is an extreme daydreamer.  The inaugural Underground Individual Poetry Slam Champion of Canada, and a two-time Vancouver Poetry Slam team member, Johnny has been called “the Bob Ross of Canadian Poetry,” “one of the weirdest poets in Canada,” and “a scraggly bear riding a circus bike.” He has a good pile of fruit, and he enjoys walking in the rain.
A strong believer that creative expression is self-empowering, Johnny has spent the last six years teaching improvised theatre and spoken word poetry in high schools around BC.

“One of the weirdest poets in Canada.” Charles Hamilton, Tonight It’s Poetry

“MacRae perform[s] poems grounded in a mythic cosmology, poems which combine a respect for traditional poetic structure with an impishly postmodern sense of humour.” – Vince Tinguely, LitLive.ca
