THE EDGEWISE ELECTROLIT CENTRE is a non-profit literary arts
organization whose mandate is to make poetry accessible to all members
of society through a variety of media and educational programs. Since
1994, we have bridged the digital divide and employed technology to
widen the audience
for Canadian poetry and spoken word. We provide poets, multi-media
artists, youth and the public with a forum and the opportunity to use,
learn and create via technological means. Our three main current
programs are the live and interactive videoconferenced reading series,
telePOETICS©, the EEC web site and e-zine, the Edgewise Café, and the Vancouver
Videopoem Festival, all of which lend visual impact to the word and help
raise the profile of Canadian poets and poetry.

The Edgewise aims to demystify and expand technology and new media. We
also encourage experimentation with electronic media in the literary
arts and function as a research site as well, to observe how art and media
interact, to explore technology and aesthetics.

The Edgewise ElectroLit Centre's "visionary" programs have been covered
by the Bravo Arts Channel, the CBC, VTV, CTV, and featured in articles
in Arts Vancouver, the Loop, Courier, Vancouver Sun, Province, Georgia
Straight and Globe & Mail newspapers.
