Bharath Divakar is a luminous voice in Bangalore’s spoken word scene—a poet, writer, and storyteller who brings raw emotion and lyrical grace to every performance. With over 150 shows across India, he has shared stages with icons like Sarah Kay, Phil Kaye, and Kalki Koechlin. His verses fearlessly dive into the deep—touching on gender, identity, mental health, and trauma—with a tenderness that lingers. Whether performing in English or Kannada, pieces like Expecto Patronum and Appa leave a lasting imprint. A mentor to many and a vital part of the Airplane Poetry Movement, Bharath’s work continues to stir hearts and spark conversations on stages big and small.
