Gylan Kain (sometimes simply KAIN, Kain or Kain the Poet) (1942-2024) was an American poet and playwright. Born in Harlem Hospital in New York, Kain died on 7 February 2024 in a care home in Lelystad, Netherlands. He was a founding member, in 1968, of the Original Last Poets (along with Abiodun Oyewole and David Nelson, with Felipe Luciano soon added). Kain personally created the aggressive, rhythmic delivery of spoken word aka performance poetry as it is known today. He often performed with hand drums or backing musicians such as saxophonists and bass guitarists.
