ABOUT PHIL KAYE
Raised by a Japanese mother and Jewish-American father, Phil Kaye fell in love with spoken word poetry at age 17. Since then he has toured across the country as a celebrated performer,
writer, and teacher. He has appeared on NPR, performed at Lincoln Center, and most recently coached and performed on the 2011 Providence National Poetry Team, ranked third in the nation. His first book, A Light Bulb
Symphony, was published in 2011, and his work can be found regularly in CHAOS Magazine.
Phil is a graduate of Brown University, where he was head coordinator of Space in Prisons for the Arts and Creative Expression (SPACE) and taught weekly poetry workshops in maximum
security prisons. He has been the keynote speaker and performer at MassSTAR, the Massachusetts Department of Education's youth leadership conference and is the two-time recipient of the National College Poetry Slam award for "Pushing the Art Forward," given
for outstanding innovation in the art of performance poetry; he is the only person to ever receive the award twice.
As the full-time co-director of Project VOICE, Phil frequently travels to colleges and high schools perform his work and teach poetry workshops. Project V.O.I.C.E. (Vocal Outreach
Into Creative Expression) is a national movement that encourages young people to engage with the world around them and use poetry as an instrument through which they can explore and better understand their culture, their society, and ultimately themselves.
