Shane Koyczan
This guy is awesome. He’s the most inspiring poet I’ve read/heard in a long time. I don’t follow poetry much anymore. I used to write it and now I think I want to, again.

Shane’s first book is also incredible – I find that his performances are often very fast (though he also has great ‘flow’ to use that hip hop term, so they’re a joy to listen to or watch) and having the book helps me appreciate the words.
