Stewart Stone
This poet melody word-rhythms like B.B.King caressing Lucille juxtaposing Shakespeare and soul to the drum of hip-hop for the entire world to hear. An early 80’s baby from Lexington , Kentucky , He credits E.A. Poe, Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, 2pac, and Gil Scott-Heron as major influences. A self proclaimed product of the disenfranchised, underprivileged, and often misunderstood, He chose to be a token voice of the unspoken buffaloing fields of thought by storming stages reciting rap and spoken word hoping to raise awareness, create dialogue and increase interest in social welfare. He graduated Berea College with a B.A. in Communication and is currently seeking a Masters in Special Education at Kentucky State University . His work can presently be found in Few and Chosen: Defining Negro League Greatness, and is currently working on compiling new work for performance and future publication.
