Devin “The Poet”

Headline text
== a Brooklyn native feels as though his poetry is a “direct reflection of self.” His poetry can traverse the realms of light hearted to heavy themes; overall Devin establishes an uncanny connection with his audience. He currently attends John Jay College, majoring in International Criminal Justice entering his junior year. Devin has been juggling his spoken word career and college since his exit from high school around 3 years ago. Since then he has rocked numerous venues as well as universities all over the country from New York to California. When it comes to the slam poetry scene Devin “The Poet” is a force to be reckoned with. He is one of the youngest poets to win a spot on the historical Nuyorican Poets Café Slam team; he is the New York Knicks 2006 Slam champion, Urban Word NYC 2006 Slam Finalist and all of this accomplished before his approaching 20th birthday. He has shared the stage with some of NYC’s top spoken word artist as well as accumulating various honors in the process. His main goal remains “engrave his words in the psyche of history never to be forgotten”. Devin is currently working on his first album, slated for release in late November, as well as poetry group that will bring spoken word to urban classrooms. == http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm50/RecklessPhotography/Devin%20Is%20Famous/CSC_4750.jpg
