About Me


Does anyone REALLY read this?
sup, the goverment name is Evan. the poetic name is Copasetic Soul and im a 5'3 ball of blazin positive energy....a Son, Father, Friend and Poet. i have has been writing since grade school. In 2003, i rediscovered the love for poetry and writing that had been lost during the two years i wandered through the underbelly of life. i started attending opening mics, reading and did some writing. Being able to writing has changed, maybe even saved my life.
Fast forward to 2004, the National Poetry Slam is held in St. Louis...so many different poets, so many different forms of poetry, so many different topics....i was hooked!
2005, I took the stage for the FIRST time at Legacy Books and Cafe on my Earth Day to read. Since then, I have embraced the art of spoken word/slam poetry by performing every chance given. I have "cut my teeth" at various local venues...as well as Southern Fried Poetry Slam 05 (my very FIRST time slamming) as well as hitting open mics at NPS 05 and iWPS 06. in 06, Im hoping for a continued growth as a slammer/poet/writer/performer ..........and getting these words out to as many people as possible
check out some of the pictures i have taken at various poetry events www.flickr.com/photos/copaseticsoul/sets/
Always remember this about ME.....whether im rockin Kenneth Cole (im the spook that that by the door)or Timberland boots (im still on the block). there is even a lil hippie in me.....im dedicated to awaking those still walking around in fog of life and fighting demons. I know its hard but continue to be strong. Im also dedicated to lift the fog put forth by this government and its agents. they arent watching US, we are watching THEM!
the Revolution is Here!
God called just to say....She still loved me!
I do write in the Blog, so peep it out! oh yea, how are you gonna be my friend without saying a word to me? i was just wondering.....
