Phil Kaye - Live at

[@EchoWolffee27]

Anyone who will back me up, I hereby dub Phil as Poetry Jesus.

[@sumabibil.ngaihte935]

Poetry Jesus!

[@samvancook]

Lol =) I guess Minneapolis thought so too!

[@tree_spirits]

The poem about his grandmother's mind being a ballroom - wow.

[@abuhuraira3685]

I am not a poet But the poem Awaiting to be written

[@lalalaurenmae]

What an inspirational poet. He’s got the finesse to address the part of the audience that won’t stop talking & leaves them laughing. And the fluidity of the set is superb. Well done yet again, Phil. Much love.

[@ButtonPoetry]

We agree!

[@benxx6965]

It’s crazy! In a culture devoured my wanting to know as much about the lives of celebrities as possible, its so hard to see them exist only in the form of their art as Phil is for me. Talented, great-story teller, vulnerable, inspiring, human, beautiful! I will protect the image of poets like Phil and Sarah as long as I can; they will always inspire to appreciate the beauties of everyday life.

[@snigdha7066]

Wow, that change at 1:57 was surprising haha! In an earlier version (and in his book too) it went something like and my belt loops quietly think to themselves: you fundamentally misunderstand my ability but I guess the what the fuck delivers the meaning just as well :D

[@johncoleman1930]

Please what's the book called I need it!!!

[@jasminejoseahdaquiz9936]

I'm seriously crying during the poem about his grandma's ballroom

[@sii479]

That third poem really took me by surprise. I've been thinking about my own experiences with being unable to speak my mother tongue and I'm a Venda girl in South Africa. I've loved your poems for years, but never expected you to be able to hold up a mirror to my life so beautifully

[@rhythmicanthem1032]

I can teach you😁 Na nne ndi muVenda

[@teagannam]

It hit me hard too. I’ll never forgive my four year old self for refusing to keep speaking Korean

[@denii7094]

You made me cry.... and that's a compliment. 💙

[@tsigeredagetachew9586]

When I came back, there was no gravity in our home. 🔥 His voice is soothing!

[@amcgee0668]

I find Phil physically beautiful, and marvelously talented✨

[@abuhuraira3685]

I am a villain of my own story But I am a hero of my enemy's story Be a great person

[@akiiesugereadt]

The last one was my favorite and I love his hair.

[@deirdremcquade9690]

[@saifkhawar]

[@imanghazi3789]

I don’t read or listen to much poetry, but Phil Kaye has always been an exception.

[@younesaomari4290]

[@yourweirdbanana]

Phil is so humble and talented. Gawd.

[@jirahlawrence5178]

He's still one of my favorite poets ever. I love his words so much

[@roadhousepress]

I cried when you remembered your grandmother. Thank you.

[@ashh5369]
