PROFILE:
RAPHAEL COHEN is a writer and performer currently living in Oakland, California. Committed to utilizing the word as a vehicle for personal and social transformation, Raphael's poetry and prose critically examine the multifaceted nature of oppression, explore and expose the hidden costs of privilege, and vibrantly inspire efforts toward self-actualization. Through his art, he hopes to propose liberating alternatives to the often incapacitating impact of dominant narratives on our psyches and spirits. A storyteller at heart, Raphael has shared his work in New York, Montreal, Toronto, and throughout the Bay area. He recently released his first full-length collection of poetry, Scrutinizing Lines, and with that, founded Play In The Margins Press, an independent publishing project and event production company dedicated to promoting the work of local writers and performers intent on social change. In addition, Raphael coordinates an afterschool program at a public charter school in downtown Oakland. He's also a huge admirer of peanut sauce, vegan sneakers, and spin moves that culminate in smooth finger rolls.
