Featured Poet: "ABE the Blackstone"
Spoken word artist "ABE the Blackstone" hails from Saint Louis, Missouri. Although he started writing poetry at the age of 16, it wasn’t until he was 30 when he first performed. That flipped a switch inside him, compelling him to quit his I.T. gig to become a full-time spoken word artist. It’s been an absolute passion of his ever since.
