This week we present Element 615. Hailing from Texas, he speaks in a cadence that does not break down across barriers of race, age or geography. Soulful stanzas echoing something between Coltrane and Cyrano, Element 615 is unapologetically romantic, devoid of pretension, and delightfully sensual. His work promotes thought as a natural bi-product of itself, while unambiguously uniting his audience with his honest, compassionate take on the human experience. Find him at http://element615.bandcamp.com @WANPoetry writeaboutnowpoetry.com youtube.com/WANpoetry facebook.com/WANpoetry wanpoetry.tumblr.com Hosted by Davis Land. davisland.info Element 615's performance recorded at AvantGarden in Houston, TX.
