A short Q and A with one of the performers for the Dudley Cafe event this weekend.
Something I'm going to ask more poets: Do you come from a family that supported or even understood poetry prior to you getting into it?
My family didn’t understand why I was doing poetry, but they did accept it as a hobby.
Who was it that made you want to be a poet? Was it a specific author? A performer you saw live or on YouTube?
I have a professor at Roxbury Community College who told me that I had the perfect influence for poetry. He said he could sense something called the dragon in me. He had me perform one time, and I just fell in love with it since my favorite artist was Black Ice. At that time I had seen a ton of YouTube videos of him and fell in love with the stage.
I attended a college where the poetry scene among students just wasn't there. It had to be built (or re-built) from the ground up. What is the scene like in Roxbury Community College?
