Poet Awill shares her journey returning to poetry after a five-year hiatus, starting with a birthday dare from her sister that pushed her to perform at Words Over Latte in June last year. She discusses her creative process, performance style, and how she pairs her poetry with music to create deeper connections with audiences.
• Upcoming performances at Josh Lounge on July 10th with Ari the Vibe and at Lake Street on July 17th
• Overcoming performance anxiety while hoping audiences "respect the mic"
• Tips for breaking writer's block by capturing poetic fragments as they come instead of forcing complete works
• How Awill integrates music with her poetry performances
• Exclusive performance of her new poem "You Only Reap What You Sow" exploring themes of love and reciprocity
