Description
An Open Mic event, hosted by Concrete Generation’s Stefen Micko and CP Maze with featured Poet Jay Ward!
Junious Ward, known as Jay to his friends, was born in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1975. He moved to a small town in North Carolina at age 5 and then to a suburb of Washington, D.C. as a young adult. Having the moral institution and colorful background that comes along with southern living combined with the fast pace and bright lights of the “big city” served to sharpen his unique outlook
Jay has been writing poetry for about 22 years. His talent for poetry became apparent in the 5th grade when he wrote a poem for a school project about the Statue of Liberty which was later published in small booklet made available to students and parents. He later auditioned that same poem as a rap song for a local radio station, which sparked a never-ending affair with poetry and music.
