5 POEMS (Hillside FESTIVAL 2022 Featured Artist)

In the exciting sequel to Braeden’s 2 Poems for Hillside Inside, Hillside reached out again. This time requesting Braeden perform outside, live, and in-person.

Braeden incessently repeated these 5 poems in his head, until that cathartic moment where he blurted them out for the very first time on Hillside’s Sun Stage. People listened.

These poems are about finding truthfulness and usefulness. What is truth? What does a white poet know about it? What does anyone know about it?
