Overview

As a spoken word artist my greatest joy in life is to portray and invoke in others every emotion on the spectrum. Book me to speak at weddings and parties, or to do a poetry class with children or at a nursing home. The world needs more poetry!

What to expect

I am a spoken word artist with incredible range. I can write and perform love poems for weddings or remembrance poems for funerals--I could help elementary school kids learn what poetry is and how to write it, and I could also do the same with a nursing home population.

About

I've been writing fiction since I was 14, but poetry and spoken word have have only recently become my focus. During quarantine in 2020 I discovered spoken word and the artform fit me like a glove. Since I started doing spoken word I've released a spoken word album, I run a poetry workshop on Zoom once a week, have merchandise available on Teespring, and I've even recently published my first book called 'Refuse to Drown.'

Additional booking notes

Depending on the context and venue, a stage and microphone may be required as I do not have my own mic.
