Kagan Goh has found his voice as a spoken word artist, establishing himself as a prominent figure in Vancouver’s spoken-word scene. Among his peers, he’s been half-jokingly and half-seriously dubbed the bipolar poet laureate. With his own experiences with bipolar disorder, Goh advocates for the validation of all emotional reactions, seeing them as essential phases in the journey toward recovery and self-acceptance.
As a Singapore-born Chinese Canadian, with a portfolio spanning published memoirs, plays, screenplays, essays, poetry, and short stories, his works have been featured in various anthologies, periodicals, and magazines. Goh has graced numerous poetry slams, readings, open mics, and festivals, including prestigious events like the Vancouver International Storytelling Festival and Word on the Street. Additionally, he has made appearances on platforms such as CBC and Co-op Radio.
Goh’s personal mission revolves around raising awareness of mental health issues and combating the stigma attached to mental illness. Through his spoken word performances and storytelling, he delves into themes and narratives derived from his own experiences with bipolar mood disorder, also known as manic depression.
This event will take place on Monday August 18th 2025 at 7PM at DCTRL, 436 W Pender St, Vancouver, BC, Canada, 49.283269°N 123.112796°W. 🐝➡️or🐝🟥
