WP:BLP of a spoken word poet, with no strong claim to passing Wikipedia's inclusion standards for either writers or musicians and no strong reliable source coverage to support it. The only real claim of notability here is winning a local literary award for a chapbook, whereas "notable because awards" for a writer requires national literary awards on the order of the Governor General's Awards or the Griffin Poetry Prize, and the only references here are a primary source list of the participants at a literary event from that event's own self-published website and two pieces in university student newspapers. The latter two sources would be fine for supplementary confirmation of facts after the article had already cleared WP:GNG on better ones, but are not widely distributed enough be bringers of GNG in their own right if they're the best sources that can be provided -- but on a ProQuest search all I can find for her is a couple of readings in event calendars, not substantive coverage about her, and I can find even less on Google, where even using the search term "Lisa B poet" to filter out Lisa B(arbuscia) the fashion model still gets me hits for Lisa B(ernstein) the American jazz singer instead of Lisa B(aird) the Canadian slam poet. I simply can't find any viable new sourcing to get her over GNG, and the article claims nothing about her that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to get over GNG.

 * Comment, first of all a big thanks to for their well set out nomination (if only more nominators would show the research that they have done into the subject ... sigh), anyhow did find that one of her works appears in the 2016 anthology The Remedy: Queer and Trans Voices on Health and Health Care, that won 2017 lambda award for LGBTQ Anthology, but still not enough so a delete from me, unless more can be found.
