The Poetry Man

Profound Orator Elevated Thinker

About Me



I am the middle son born in the middle passage, I live to bless mics, I write to maintain my sanity. I speak because that is my Divine Purpose.

I am The Poetry Man, and if I wasn't; then why would I say I am?"
... They call me a Street Preacher, I tell them that I'm just a P.O.E.T. - defined as Profound Orator, Elevated Thinker!

His style is a hybrid of the Church, the Classroom, and the Corner. Equally comfortable in the basement or the penthouse, he bends words to penetrate and overcome all barriers to effective communication.
If you could blend the DNA of a Minister, a Student, and Street Scholar with that of an Inquistive Child, gifted with the courage to dream and the boldness to pursue it, and the audacity to believe it, then you have the recipe to create The Poetry Man.
