In the spirit of National Poetry Month. I’m going to list my top 8 poets and one of their works to get you up to speed if they have online content. This list is in no particular order. I don’t know any of these people personally, I just love their art. Okay now let’s get to it. Also let me know who you like most in the comments below. Tell me some other poets I should include in the next list in the comments below.
Rudy Francisco: I have seen some of his poetry spoken on numerous YouTube channels. I like his witty wordplay and style of poetry. I have yet to read his book, Helium but I’ll leave a link for you all. Book Here.
Ayanaimannn: This is another poet with some great wordplay and a lot of love and heartbreak poems that people can relate to. I like her laid back like style. It sounds like she’s not trying. Its cool in my eyes. This is one of her poems that I like the most.Here
Orville The Poet: I like majority of his poetry. Hard to pick just one if I had to choose. It would be this one. I have seen this guy live at Bus Boys and Poets here in the DMV area. He’s a great inspiration on stage. He looks so comfortable up there. Just dope.
