"A beautiful collection of poems within an equally beautiful format (graphic novel style) that captures, in my opinion, the length, width and depth of the human condition perfectly. Koyczan, with this work, has become this generations 'Bob Dylan." -Reviewed by Graeme Davies on Goodreads.
In 2010, the world caught a glimpse of Koyczanâs prodigious talent with his presentation at the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. This stand-out performance helped shine a light on this street poet from Vancouverâs downtown east side. Shane had been an artist, inches away from living on the street, who even in those troubled times was putting out work like To This Day, a video thatâs garnered 24 million views and is used worldwide in classrooms as a teaching tool, as well in speech and forensic competitions. His second book, Stickboy, was adapted into an opera by Vancouver Opera. His voice has been sought after by luminaries like George Miller, who worked with Shane on Mad Max: Fury Road. Koyczan also created the piece, Shoulders, which he toured with David Suzuki as part of The Blue Dot Tour, a movement to enshrine environmental rights in the constitution.
