Xien Khartell (Zen Cartel) is a spoken word artist and author from Peekskill and Yonkers. His influences are his father, and the many artist, educators, and leaders in his community such as Smilescatering, BronxPoetry, and #She/He Reads. Recently he has published two books between titled Poem Pale: Vision 1 and Poem Pale II: Green. Both books of poetry follow his life and experiences between the years of 2007 and 2017. The content is dedicated to the ancestry of his people, and is inspired by the women and men in all our history that fought for our freedoms today.

Tyler is a Staten Island based spoken word poet. His work provides a raw, honest and introspective of the complexities of love, loss, and being a fat positive transgender man. Tyler is the author of What is Left Behind from NYSAI press and is one half of “Letters & Music”, a duet group that bridges the gap between poetry and song.
