Soundbite Of The Year Tournament 2021 - Off The Rails LIVE #22

Family

With his remarkable talent of storytelling and two captivating poems, Phil shares his journey and experience of creating poetry with inmates in maximum security prison.

Phil Kaye is a touring spoken word poet and co-director of Project VOICE. He has traveled all over the world performing his work and teaching hands-on workshops. He has appeared on NPR, performed at Lincoln Center, 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 -- the only person to receive the award twice. Phil is a graduate of Brown University, where he was the former head coordinator of Space in Prisons for the Arts and Creative Expression (SPACE) and taught weekly poetry workshops in maximum-security prisons. His book, A Light Bulb Symphony, was released in 2011, and his work can be found regularly in CHAOS Magazine.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

My name is Phil,
and I am a spoken word poet.

If you are sitting wondering
exactly what that might mean, that's OK.

A lot of times, people ask
what I do for a living,

and if I say, "Oh, I'm a poet," they think

that is some sort of cute euphemism
for "I'm filling out job applications."

with schools, organizations,
and communities,

performing and teaching spoken word poetry
to people of all ages and backgrounds.

A lot of that work is
through an organization

that I co-direct with a wonderful friend
and an amazing poet, Sarah Kay.

So I want to start today off with a poem.

because, even though he passed away
a few years ago, today is his birthday.

In 1947, after he and my great-uncles
returned form the Second World War,

They called it,
'Union War Surplus Store.'

Their slogan, 'From the battleship
to a hunting knife,

The place was half store,
half encyclopedia;

with odd objects that somebody,
somewhere, might want.

Steel toe boots, fire resistant overalls,

with people that somebody,
somewhere else, might forget about;

Like Richard -
Richard who did not work there,

but showed up every Sunday afternoon
in his full military uniform.

"But once, brought his little girl,
held her hand, said,

'This is what it smelled like
when daddy was a hero.'

We walked together in the park one night,

and a jagged man,
with more tattoo than skin,

walked up directly
to my grandfather and said,

My pops used to take me
to your store as a kid,

and you shook my hand once,
like I was a man.

but he liked to work down
on the floor, lent anybody a smile.

With his big belly,
bald head, long, gray beard,

little kids would see him
and go, 'Santa Claus!'"

"Six years after Union War
Surplus Store opened its doors,

He is not a strong man,
but he knows what it means to build.

One summer, when he was a teenager,
he worked at the store,

built a door in the back;
it's still there.

Forty years after Union War
Surplus Store opened its doors,

but I'm trying to learn
what it means to build.

One summer, when I was a teenager,
I worked at the store,

built this display that went
all the way up to the ceiling.

The same ceiling where my dad
taught me to identify things,

'Oh, this here? This is
an old American bombshell.

You may want to hold it,
but be careful not to hurt yourself.'

'Oh, her there? She is
a young American bombshell.

You may want to hold her,
but be careful not to hurt yourself.'"

"Soon after my father built his door,
he walked through it,

built his own half encyclopedia;
made my grandfather very proud.

Soon after, I built my display,
I ran up to my grandfather's office,

showed him what I had done,
'Very good, Phil. Very good.'

he handed me an old piece
of paper, a beat-up pen.

and I began to build
the only way I know how."

So that's just one example
of spoken word poetry,

poetry that's meant to be performed
as opposed to read on a piece of paper.

Sometimes, people ask about
the writing process of spoken word poetry,

and it's not that different
from creating something else:

and hopefully, a group of people
who you trust to give you some feedback.

And it's a little bit
of what I wanted to talk about today.

and I've been doing
spoken word poetry for a few years
