Thoughts from a crazy TONY AWARD WINNER.
About Me:
 
Whenever someone is looking for a poet, POETRI is the main one on the list. He was one of the first poets to win a TONY AWARD with his own material on Broadway for Def Poetry Jam. Just recently, POETRI was personally invited by President Obama to attend the first ever Spoken Word Event at the WHITE HOUSE. When people think of poetry, they think of POETRI first. POETRI was the poetic voice for the popular KCAL Nine Lakers commercials and, in fact, has written and appeared in over 150 commercials for clients like Subway, Gatorade, Nike, NFL Films, BET and Arbys. Let the record be known that regarding POETRI as just a poet would be underestimating his abilities. POETRI has also been blazing the TV and movie screens with appearances in such popular movies as BLADES OF GLORY and YES MAN. Some of his television appearances include THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW, TYLER PERRYS HOUSE OF PAYNE, BONES, RAISING THE BAR, LINCOLN HEIGHTS, as well as being a major thread to the storyline of the ground-breaking reality documentary Black.White with Ice Cube. He also has conquered the Internet with the record breaking Snickers digi-sodes INSTANT DEF along with the Black Eyed Peas and won the grand prize of ten thousand dollars in the last online Spoken Word competition for FAMECAST.

Hey I just wanted to say I loved you MJ poem tribute video. I became a fanatic MJ fan when I was just a little kid and still am to this day. I also used to pretend I was him at times, lol. I wanted his life, heck, I would have been happy washing his underoos, stinky socks and toilets @ Neverland for the rest of my life. And to HADNOKS...yo got no idea what tha fuck having an IQ above 60 is.

Poetri,

My name is David Sanchez and I am currently a Senior in Liberty High School, Liberty, MO. In school, we have a forensics team that competes with other local area High Schools in events of Interpretation of Literature. Basically, for poetry, we take Published material and do exactly what you do on broadway (from what I've seen on YouTube) only we use a poetry book (5 1/2 X 7 1/2) black binder with white pages. Anyways, I was just wondering if you had a real name, I have looked everywhere and I just can't seem to find anything else but Poetri. Second, your work is brilliant. I am completely astounded by all of your work. Do you have a collection of your works available for purchase in a book or multiple books somewhere? It would be nice to own a copy of your work. Well, thanks for your help.

David
