Janaka Stucky Biography

Janaka Stucky is one of the most popular and richest Poet who was born on March 23, 1978 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

During his senior year at Emerson College, Stucky co-founded The Guerilla Poets, a group which gave spontaneous public poetry performances in non- traditional locations, such as streetcorners, malls, fast-food restaurants, and subways. The group appeared at the People’s Poetry Gathering in New York City, where Stucky won a head-to-head haiku competition against established Vermont poet Marc Awodey, impressing Awodey so much that he published a selection of the group’s poems, Speak These Words: A Guerilla Poets Anthology (2001), edited by Stucky. The group subsequently toured in a van across the United States three times, at one point performing as many as thirty shows in twenty days and selling more than nine hundred copies of their book, a large number for a book of poems by unestablished poets. The Guerilla Poets disbanded in 2002.

From 2002 to 2009, he worked as an undertaker, which, he says, “influenced and informed my work a great deal. … I came to understand the poem as a ritual, a funeral for the constant death of language.”
