They call Harris Sullivan, “The Bongo Poet”.

 

That’s because he plays bongo drums to spice up his public readings from his two books of poems. A native of Richibucto, the retired award-winning journalist has been on the spoken word trail for five years.

 

His material is all over the map—love poems, sex poems, scathing comments about social issues, reflections of his parents and a lot of humor.

 

His poems generally rhyme—Harris thinks of them as songs and he does sing some of them in his readings, which certainly makes him one of the unique spoken word poets in this region.
