Just like music, art and history, Philadelphia’s poetry roots run deep. And, thanks to artists like Philly 360° Creative Ambassador Ursula Rucker, Founder of Philly Youth Poetry Movement “Just Greg” Corbin, poet extraordinaire Nina Lyrispect Ball and the many other stellar wordsmiths our town produces – Philly poets still demand respect around the country for their skills with the pen, and definitely on the mic.  

Oh, and I certainly can’t forget to take a moment and shout out Philadelphia Poet Laureate Sonia Sanchez.  Sonia, the original spoken word artist, has been keeping the Philly fire burning bright for well over five decades.  

So, for this extra-special Philly 360° Insider post, I’m giving a special shout out to all of the Philly poets, storytellers and spoken word artists by highlighting four spoken word events that are going down in the next few weeks. So, grab a friend, or two or three, and come out to watch these ridiculously talented artists of all ages step to the mic and show the world what Philly poetry is all about.  Ok, let’s go!
