Colton Van Baale

Colton Van Baale, known online as PoetryByColton, is a spoken word poet, father, and the author of Let's Talk About It—a poetry collection that dives headfirst into the realities of men's mental health. Through brutally honest, emotionally charged pieces, Colton challenges the old definitions of masculinity and creates space for men to feel, speak, and heal. His words are raw, his mission is real, and he's here to say what so many have been afraid to.
