Kyle Tran Myhre (aka Guante) is a poet and activist whose work explores the relationships between narrative, power, and resistance. He’s performed at the United Nations, contributed to a Grammy-winning album, been a member of two National Poetry Slam championship teams, and visited countless colleges, conferences, and festivals, using spoken word and storytelling as doorways into critical dialogue. His most recent book, "Not a Lot of Reasons to Sing, But Enough", is available now via Button Poetry.
Whether writing about men’s roles in ending gender-based violence, challenging dominant narratives related to race and racism, or just telling stories about the different jobs he’s had, Tran Myhre strives to cultivate a deeper engagement with social justice issues, one based in both empathy and agency. An educator as well as a performing artist, Tran Myhre completed his Masters studies at the University of Minnesota with a focus on spoken word, critical pedagogy, and social justice education, and regularly facilitates workshops and residencies. He lives in Minneapolis.

Andi Stewart is a queer galaxy in the shape of a poem. Four time Australian Poetry Slam finalist and two-time runner-up, his poetry hits the sweet spot between radical honesty and just-uncomfortable-enough to warrant second place. Founder of WhamBamSilverSlam and ROWDY, you may know him from the Opera House stage; his features at a myriad of events including Red Dirt Poetry Festival, Slamalamadingdong, and Enough Said Poetry Slam; his work with organisations such as Nayri Niara Festival, Wide Open Space Festival, WordTravels, and Tas Pride; or as the producer and regular performer at Wordcraft. His words explore queer identity, trans, true, and toxic masculinity, privilege and oppression, politics, God, and the kind of emotions that can only be expressed through copious amounts of metaphors.
