11/20/20 is a series of poems set to the sounds of videogame music and samples, with poems that repeat and reframe quotes and images from games into the personal, covering topics including relationships, performance, and the US election.

Rahul Rao is a writer and performer from Houston, TX, who utilizes sounds and samples in his spoken word project coyotebloodbath. The project name itself derives from Rahul’s online gaming handle, though its use as a midwestern farming colloquialism does not go unacknowledged. It is, at the very least, interesting to watch.
