Illegal's Home

Illegal Poet is a spoken word artist and social activist. He writes powerfully and personally about the current state of the world from the perspective of a poet living outside of the so called global village. His most recent books are: The Awakening, an exhilarating and refreshing poetic collection of a budding poet, and Illegal Thoughts?, an intriguing collection of poetry that showcased his growth as one of the next great poets. His forthcoming book and spoken word CD, Illegal Poet, is an original and controversial exploration of discrimination, consciousness, reconciliation, and sexuality. Throughout this new collection, sexual connotations are often times used with vivid imagery that takes you on a wild outlandish psychological ride. Illegal Poet is available for booking to perform his poetry and to speak at graduations, weddings etc. on a number of topics. Illegal Poet's stage performances and his new collection of poetry have been winning him critical acclaim, here's what some in the press and scholars are saying:

"His offbeat humour is complemented by deadpan delivery while vivid imagery and sharp scrutiny of the world around us combine to create fresh and pioneering art." - Turks & Caicos Weekly News

"Illegal Poet’s rhymes put to jazz—the type of smoky-lounge vibe you would expect to appear in a Spike Lee joint—explore the human experience from life’s hardest knocks to the joys and pains, love and sex." - WIV Channel 4 News

"I am more than convinced that this work will become a masterpiece of the American Literature." - Dr. Rowland Williams, PhD
