......... Yunus Abdul-Quddus.... father,an underground poet, would take him to various jazz clubs and open mike venues, exposing him to art of spoken word poetry. Yet, it was not until the sixth grade he decided to write his first poem..... Bored with conventional story telling and books he read in grade school, he would skim through, take phrases from the sentences, and try to make them rhyme. His ability to take words and write completely different stories, showed his vast literary talents. His teachers classified him as a daydreamer. Yet, who knew that years later this daydreamer, who rewrote school books, would be answering to a higher purpose.....and that purpose was to be a spoken word artist. At the age of 19, Yunus went public with his poetry for the first time at Brave New World in Philadelphia. He has set a life long goal to be heard globally. Currently, Yunus can be found hosting two open mike venues, The Brooklyn Coffee and Tea House and The Black Repertory Theatre Company. He is also founder and President of Johnson & Wales Underground Poetry Club, which brings together other artistic minds to share their literary talents. Yunus has appeared on , Brown University Radio, and WDAJ am The Drive with Angelo Marinochi. He has set a goal to create music that can bring all ethnic cultures and background under one umbrella, without disrespecting oneself or belittling women. "Pick up a dictionary like Malcolm X and tell your story. Write clean pure music and words that still tell true experiences of love, spirituality, and poetic testimonies on life. Yunus states, " Music can have a positive, realistic message and still be entertaining." The man, who only saw the art of poetry as a hobby, is not only performing it, but also teaching others. Currently, he teaches poetry at the Met Technical Center, Johnson & Wales Poetry Club, and Community College of Rhode Island. Last year, he was granted the opportunity to perform on the same stage as Philadelphia legendary poet Ursula Rucker and HBO Def Jam Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo, when he opened Sound Session 2005 in Providence, RI. Yunus has competed in poetry slams at the Lizard Lounge, Boston where he would finish second place, with only his Mentor claiming first prize. He also, would finish second place at AS220s Poetry Slam in Providence. Currently, Yunus has released three tracks on a poetry mix CD entitled Know Words- Volume I with the Quiet Nation Label, and is working on an solo album entitled The Lost Thoughts. All from a man who never planned to share his work with the world. This is only the beginning for a student/ poet/ teacher/ counselor who puts passion into his art of poetry. A glimpse in the life of a lost voice in the wilderness crying out to be heard!!!...........................yunusaquddus@gmail.com

Growing up in Newark, New Jersey, Chris’s "spoken word" captures stories and experiences of an urban world where complex everyday lives, move to staccato rhythms of the city without loosing the human spirituality necessary for survival. Chris moved to Trenton where he was given the nick name Transit Thought, for the broad range of “real issue” works he performed on street corners, train stations, high schools and colleges.......

HOLIDAY INN .ATLANTA , GA FOR BLACK POETRY CAFE REUNION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5 Photobucket - Video and Image HostingSpittin' Images < Introduction to its origin: The inception of Spittin' Images took place in late 2005 in Providence, Rhode Island in a small studio above the Cuban Revolution located in the heart of the theatre district. Political activist and local filmmaker, Napoleon X invited four poets to each write a poem based on his short-documentary film, Black Men Can Fly. The film briefly illustrates how George S. Lima, a black aviator, educator and activist overcame poverty, prejudice, adversity and ignorance to become an American hero. During the process of composing their individual poems based on Lima's life, the artists discovered that many of Lima's life experiences mirrored their own lives. This common thread became the impetus for joining forces to form a collective performance group. The group was originally called, Protown Princes of Poetry, and later it was amended to Spittin' Images. Spittin' Images is a fusion of contemporary urban rhythms mixed with Spoken Word and influenced by elements of jazz, gospel, blues and hip-hop. Comprised of award-winning slam poets and accomplished musicians, the trio performs material that speaks to a universal audience while staying true to it beginnings as an instrument for encouragement and social change. With an emphasis on exploring the common characteristic found in music from Negro spirituals to contemporary hip-hop, Spittin' Images endeavor to positively affect the Black consciousness. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting The group addresses issues such as social equality, racial discrimination, fatherhood, and substance abuse with a variety of unique perspectives, hoping to motivate others to become socially conscious citizens that strive to address injustice in their community. Each spoken word piece artfully blends singing and beat-boxing to encourage a dialogue that effectively challenges popular stereotypes and preconceived notions of the black male identify.

MySpace.com........ LAWRENCE NUNES: Poetic Soul A native of Providence, RI, Lawrence made his first debut in 1992 with a book of poetry called "Black Images." Poetry became an outlet for his creativity. It was inevitable to collaborate music with Lawrence's spoken word. Thus Lawrence became acquainted with Ken Bento (ALIAS SKY). By 2002, Lawrence had written his second book called "When Reality Sets In."......A poet, a play writer, a vocalist and a minister of the Christian faith. Born and raised in Providence, RI. Married with two children. His recent CD called Hearts Unveiled is filled with poetry and song. It touches the soul of a person......Lawrence has co-written and performed from his short stories and plays. One of such is a play called Gems. A play based on domestic and sexual abuse against women......Lawrence volunteers his time as a consultant for Sojourner House. Sojourner House is a place that makes the connection with HIV and domestic abuse. Lawrence also takes the time to minister at Disciples of Christ Mission Church within his community. The churches main target is feeding the homeless.......Lawrence Nunes says “that a majority of my artistic work comes from issues that deteriorate my community. I just absorb these issues that I’m surrounded by and release my thoughts on paper. I hope that my writing and music plays a big role towards social changes.”......Lawrence Nunes is known for opening up acts with his poetry. Having a cameo appearance on television hosted by George Castro............

Poetstock 2009!
Never before has this been done, and hopefully it will be successfully repeated after this all over the world, again and again….

Our aim is to bring together poets from all over, who produce all genres of poetry for a night of mingling, poetry, shameless self promotion….  Each poet will have the poetry to read their work on stage, sell their work to those who would like to buy, and mingle with the best poets of our generation.

It will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 9 PM at STUDIO PARK; 1519 Carroll Dr
Atlanta, GA 30318-3605

And the owner of STUDIO PARK in Atlanta has been gracious enough to open his doors to us without charging us ANYTHING!!!

Guys, you seriously CAN’T miss this~you HAVE to be there!  It is the chance of the lifetime, and the bigger we make it, the more attention we poets will get.

Poetry is NOT dead~let’s show the world that it is living and breathing~

Don’t forget to bring your Books, CDs and/or original artwork to sell!

***BTW~we are looking for a talented DJ to spin between reads~so if you have what it takes or know someone who does, please email me.
****ALL are welcome!  Whether you are a poet, or love poetry, we hope you will all come, tell your friends about it, and your friends’ friends-blog it, bulletin it, email it, scream about it from the rooftops~Whatever it takes!!!

When the lunch bell rang, I hurried to my room to spend at least 30 minutes reading the Bible and praying. I didn't yet know it, but I was developing what Christians commonly call a "quiet time".
