Def Poet Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai performs “Kindness over Genius” as part of Beau Sia’s Presents: I Miss You – The First Annual show featuring “the folks i miss” at The Bowery Poetry Club New York back in September 2010. In your twenties, you’re more captivated by genius. In your thirties, authentic kindness means much more. This piece is dedicated to workaholics and perfectionists.
