Kyd Kane (@kydsaidit) is the 34-year-old Poet Laureate of Grand Rapids, and she is an inspiration on so many levels. First as an artist: her poetry is unique, soulful, and streams directly from her heart. Next as a black woman: she's the first to hold GR's laureate title. Then as an openly gay person: also the first to be named Poet Laureate. But beyond all else, Kyd is a an inspiration as a human-being. Alongside her friend and fellow poet Wayne Bowerman (@allthingswwb), Kyd sits down for an intimated discussion on poetry, finding your voice, and what it means to get closer to yourself. Primary themes today: authenticity, expression, friendship, love, poetry, and art. Today's episode features music by GR native HILTON.
