Martin Gomes is a writer born & based in downtown Toronto. As a city mouse, he’s hard to pin down. If he’s not at his local Second Cup, you can catch him performing with various different groups around the world. These groups include Diapente, Silver Thread, Opus 8, Irmao, Frizz & Fro, or in his variety show titled Between the Boots. His poetry has been featured twice on the TTC. With his poetics, he’s facilitated arts programming with organizations such as JAYU, Unity Charity, The Jamii Hub, VIBEarts, Thrive Youth, and Lakeshore Arts. His goal in life is never to be the star, but to give space for the stars to exist.
