Atlanta-based spoken word artist B Rockstar uses his poetry to promote positive messages

On the “City Lights” series “Speaking of Poetry,” Atlanta’s most prolific wordsmiths discuss the art of evoking emotions with words. This edition of “Speaking of Poetry” features Spoken Word artist B Rockstar.

“I would describe my poetry as everchanging and yet rooted in ancestry,'” B Rockstar says. “It is constantly seeking a reason to be responsible for something. My poetry always wants to change people and impact them in a positive way.”

B Rockstar started writing poetry as a six or seven-year-old child, but he didn’t call it poetry then because he didn’t like poetry. He called them “emotional notes.” He would leave these notes all over the house for his mother where she could find them.
