About Me

Buy A Book Support The Arts!
**-"It only takes one voice, one passion, and one heart to create a positive existence in another's life"-**
-Lalli 2007
I am a gentleman, brother, friend, uncle, nephew, and a son.. I am the stranger you have yet to meet and a friend trying to guide you to untroubled water, I am a human with elaborate dreams.
I am Lalli.
I am a poet/spoken word artist who writes from a driven passion to make a difference through opening minds to alternate perspectives with encouraging positive messages. I have matured into my own unique style of off-beat slant rhymes that reach a depth of profound simplicity. The messages are easy to understand, but those who are wiser will grasp the underlayer of a deeper meaning. My craft is constantly evolving into a finer work of art due to my continued dedication. So if you like my work, please keep coming back because I am always sharing my newest pieces.
I currently reside in Phoenix, Arizona where my roots are established in its poetic scene. If it weren't for all the difficult life lessons AZ has taught me I would have never realized my passion. Lessons that came with much personal cost but their value are beyond any price.
I live to inspire, and I am inspired by living
I am making an attempt to be light in a world of darkness.
