Co-Founder / Managing Director:
Christian David Phiffer is a poet, ever growing slammaster, artist, and student from the North Berkshires, Massachusetts, by way of Nashville, Tennessee. His continued movement through personal growth, and honoring his true self, however vulnerable, has allowed him to love himself for the first time in his life, though the abundance of love and gratitude for his cats (which he calls his kids) is without hesitation. Christian is a future graduate of Goddard College with a degree in creative writing. When not running RP, you can find him either buried in homework at the local coffee shop, or on stage throughout NorthBeast.

"Through an overwhelming turnout and show of support for me and each other, a need to give back, to rise to the next step as an advocate for poetry and this poetry community became apparent. I am truly overwhelmed to witness such a positive showing of community.

Thank you for helping me fall in love with my passion again, and for reminding me what I set out to be years ago. I am a poet: It's a full-time job." -Christian
