Kirk Miles
From the artist: "The title of the poem "Hypoxia" is the medical term for a body or a region of the body deprived of oxygen. This poem relives the life of a healthcare worker who has arrived home exhausted and overwhelmed by his emotions. For some inexplicable reason he has managed to turn on the TV to a Vietnam War movie with a cliché death scene. These are some of his random thoughts."
Renowned poet, producer, and clown; Calgary audiences know to expect the unexpected from this longtime spoken word performer and one of the co-founders of One Yellow Rabbit.
An exceptional list of accolades as an award-winning poet and author, Kirk Miles defines the meaning of exceptional. Several published books of poetry, Bravo has aired a special on his life as a poet and clown.

In 2011 he was awarded the Golden Beret Award, from the Calgary International Spoken Word Festival, and he has been nominated four times for the Calgary Poet Laureate position.
