Listen now
Description
Kyle Tran Myhre (aka Guante) is a poet-activist-educator whose work explores the relationships between narrative, power, and resistance. He’s performed at the United Nations, been a member of two National Poetry Slam championship teams, and visited countless colleges, conferences, and festivals, using spoken word and storytelling as doorways into critical dialogue. His most recent book, Not a Lot of Reasons to Sing, But Enough, is available now via Button Poetry. In our conversation, we talk about that Fred Again song (Kyle), the simple act of showing up, translating the abstract into the specific for change, the power of art and poetry to plant seeds and open doorways to deeper engagement.  Find out more about his work here: https://guante.info/ Learn more at https://www.crewandriot.com/ Follow me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/chin-ru-foo-crewandriot/
