Gylan Kain

Gylan Kain (sometimes simply KAIN, Kain or Kain the Poet) is an American poet and playwright. He is a founding member, in 1968, of the Original Last Poets (along with Abiodun Oyewole and David Nelson, with Felipe Luciano soon added). Kain personally created the aggressive, rhythmic delivery of spoken word aka performance poetry as it is known today.[citation needed] He often performs with hand drums or backing musicians such as saxophonists and bass guitarists.
