Feature Poet: The Poetry Man
"The Poetry Man is a dynamic orator, poet and author. His style is a hybrid of the Church, the Classroom, and the Corner.
He speaks into and out of contemporary situations with a transcendent word, impacting the lives of listeners and readers of his work in immeasurable ways.
No matter how many times you experience him, each encounter is new and unique because of the manner in which he receives and channels the Word."
Opening Poet: DJTAO
"A student of philosophy, his hunger for deep understanding led him to earn a Masters in philosophy in 2004.
‘DJtao’…..the name conveys the eclectic personality of the artist who bears that moniker.
Listen to one of his poems and you can see that this one-of-a-kind artist has found a way of mixing deep philosophical ideas with hip hop lyricism and delivery.
In 2002, he made his debut appearance as a spoken word artist in Washington, DC. Since then he has gained a reputation for leaving audiences speechless"
