DANK PHART The Pirate Poet A.K.A Matty Bovard is a community organizer and cultural instigator based in Boulder, CO.  Growing up in Fairfield, IA, a small rural farm town that is also the epicenter of Transcendental Meditation in the U.S., he was exposed to many different world views. This cosmopolitan experience reflects deeply in his work and he walks his path as an artist to help heal the broken wounds among nations so we can all rise together as the ancient rainbow tribe of all colors, creeds and orientations. He studied theater and English at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, IA.  In 2009 he graduated with a B.A. in theater and a minor in English. In 2011 he moved to Boulder, CO where he’s been ever since organizing local community art events and working the regional music festivals while developing a sustainable poetry brand.
