River City Street Poet is a queer artist based in Tennessee whose practice began with a typewriter carried into the street, composing on-the-spot poems for passers-by. Thousands of poems later, that body of work has become a curated record of the human condition — tender, unflinching testimony to the beauty and pain we hold in common.

Attuned to the hearts of strangers, River City Street Poet seeks to make poetry accessible to everyone, with the simple wish that these words might hang both in your heart and your home.
