Not A Lot of Reasons to Sing, but Enough

by Kyle Tran Myhre, Casper Pham (Artist)

Overview

OF WHAT FUTURE ARE THESE THE WILD, EARLY DAYS?

An exploration of the role that artists play in resisting authoritarianism with a sci-fi twist.

In poetry, dialogue and visual art the book follows two wandering poets as they make their way from village to village, across a prison colony moon full of exiled rebels, robots, and storytellers.

Part post-apocalyptic road journal, part alternate universe history of Hip Hop, and part “Letters to a Young Poet”-style toolkit for emerging poets and aspiring movement-builders, it's also a one-of-a-kind practitioners' take on poetry, power, and possibility.
