About
Rives transforms language into art, blending poetry and multimedia in ways that challenge traditional storytelling. As a pioneering performance poet, he crafts experiences that transcend conventional artistic boundaries, turning words into living, breathing performances.
His unique approach deconstructs poetry, making it accessible and vibrant for diverse audiences. Whether on stage at TED or in creative collaborations, Rives demonstrates how poetry can be a dynamic, multimedia experience that connects, provokes, and inspires.

The Museum of Four in the Morning
Beware: Rives has a contagious obsession with 4 a.m. At TED2007, the poet shared what was then a minor fixation with a time that kept popping up everywhere. After the talk, emails starting pouring in with an avalanche of hilarious references-from the cover of "Crochet Today!" magazine to the opening scene of "The Metamorphosis." A lyrical peek into his Museum of Four in the Morning, which overflows with treasures.
