Giles Li, a local community activist and spoken word artist, will be performing in 272 West Village F at Northeastern University.

Giles has traveled the country performing and conducting workshops on both writing and important community concerns.
A firm believer in poetry as politics, his writing approaches serious topics from an emotional point of view. He draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, including Pablo Neruda, Stevie Wonder, Martìn Espada, Nellie Wong and De La Soul. He has performed all over the country at coffee shops, college campuses, and national conventions. He has shared the stage with celebrated poets, such as Louis Reyes Rivera, Jesús Papoleto Meléndez, Willie Perdomo, and Tish Benson, as well as activists like Felix Arroyo, Mel King, and Helen Zia. Giles is also a co-founder of the Boston Progress Arts Collective.
