Ryan Cole
'AFYX'
Best Spokenword Album Poetry
Ryan Cole has struggled with mental illness for his entire life. This all came to a head in early 2019 when Ryan's agoraphobia took over to the point he didn't leave his house for over 3 years. Bouts of clinical depression followed where he didn't leave his bed for months. Throughout all of this, he continued to create and inspire through joining several mental health support groups and releasing the culmination of three years of work in AFYX. AFYX is split into three sections (Birth, Life, Death). An 'afyx' of time is when you are in one point in time, or life, but you long for another point in time/life, thereby missing out and not enjoying your current state in time. The idea came to Ryan because he was stuck in a clinical depression episode, wishing he could go back in time before the episode or speed up to when it was over. Ryan learned, through therapy, to enjoy the present time.
Ryan Cole has produced several films, previously released a poetry book (Ramblings), released several spoken word poetry albums, and written several songs. He is currently entered in the Writer Magazine/Emily Dickinson Award.
