経歴と著者の歩み

Humble the Poet, the professional name of Kanwer Singh, built his public voice out of an immigrant Toronto upbringing that he has often treated as a source of both pressure and perspective. He has written that his parents arrived in Canada in their twenties and built a life through sacrifice, and that his father, despite holding a master’s degree, drove a cab while helping put Singh and his sisters through university. Before writing and media became his full-time work, Singh was an elementary school teacher. He later described the earliest phase of his spoken-word life with characteristic candor: reciting poems in coffee shops, initially, just to impress girls.
