POETS
Isis Blu
If my palms aren't sweaty and I'm
not shaking I'm not passionate about
it plain and simple. I look the way I
feel my face says it all. My smile
is....well you would have to see it
one of the many times it graces my
face in a day . I am a child at heart
which I love but I'm also very
perceptive and that shows in my use
of metaphoric imagery. My poetry
to me is: " Energy through Imagery
that causes you to Feel..."
Iris Flow
Charis
Simon,
made
the
unconscious leap from being an
avid reader to becoming a lyrical,
intelligent and conscious poet, also
indulging in the are of “Spoken
Word”. From an early age she was
captivated and greatly engulfed by
her love of written word and
admired how a story could influence
her imagination.
Fine Twine
Samantha Hazlewood has been
writing poetry for 24 years... her
brain is a canvas and her . her ink
pots which she uses liberally. There
is nothing confined about Samantha
and her creativity can not be kept
within the lines... it totally defies her
mantra of being a wild child-free
spirit....expressions of words is the
heartbeat of her soul.

I inhale words and exhale poetry.
I'm passionate about poetry and all
forms of expression. I'm a poet and
spoken word artist, and a lover of
semicolons worldwide.
As age and experience ran it’s
course, she threw her hat in the ring
to put her literary genius to good use and performed for the first
time at the “Mahalia’s Corner” open mic in 2012. Her rendition
was called “Mistress of Metaphor” and her well received
performance gave birth to her stage name “Iris Flow”, her love
for poetry and Spoken Word grew.
At age 28 the artist has performed at several open mic’s across
the island and has been an influence to many and an inspiration to
artist in her field. So much so that she co-hosted “passionate
flow” at the South Coast Daiquiri & Grill with Robert Gibson and
as she explains her love for poetry runs deeper than just writing it.
“I wanted to expand the interest of the spoken word field” says
Iris Flow and help to create another medium where people can
come out and showcase talent in Barbados.
The Creation process for the artist knows no limits as she
immerses herself daily into writing, creating, researching and
transferring her feelings into art.
