Dylan Collins is a spoken word artist, writer, poet, activist and educator. He is the host and creator of Word Humboldt, a weekly community based spoken word open mic in Arcata, CA and was part of the City Soul Café Poetry team in Raleigh, NC. Dylan recently published his first full length book "Love Poems We Write Ourselves" through Writers Block Publishing. He created a poetry slam club and coached incredible youth poets from Garner Magnet High School in North Carolina and ran a creative writing program at Pathways for People in Cary, NC working with teens and adults with disabilities and was the Humboldt County Poetry Out Loud coach in 2019. He facilitated writing workshops and performed his words out loud all across the country. He is in awe of the number of doors spoken word has opened for him in his life and can only hope to give back in return to everyone what it has given him.
