B. Fly's Poetry Lounge Welcomes Poet & Spoken Word Artist Negus Adeyemi

On This Epiosde of The Beautiful Butterfly Radio Show We Welcome Poet & Spoken Word Artist Negus Adeyemi.

Negus Adeyemi was born in the borough of Brooklyn and raised in New Jersey by parents from the Caribbean island of Barbados. With the fortune of having his father being a calypsonian and folk musician, he literally grew up around storytelling and performing. It was not until he graduated from NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) in 2008 with a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering that he himself began to seriously write poetry. Passionate about his culture and heritage from the time of his conception, Negus displays these and many more emotions in every one of his poems. Exuberant with these emotions, he is very ardent about producing poetry that focuses on the cultivation and edification of his people. He utilizes a plethora of ways and topics for people to relate and connect with his messages. As a poet, his goal is to express himself in a manner that enlightens, heals, uplifts, guides and augments the hue man spirit.

Negus is much more than just a writer, also holding the titles of father, husband and electrical engineer. Negus currently lives back in his birth city of Brooklyn, New York. Through his artistic journey thus far, he has performed his poetry at many different venues including various universities, colleges, libraries, bookstores, fundraisers and multiple other events throughout North America. He has written four books of poetry to date which include, L.O.V.E. (Letting Out Vast Emotions) which was released in June of 2009, Mind Of A Mature Lion [January 2011], Soularadiance [April 2014] and now his latest book Gemineye [April 2017] which can be purchased here: www.adeyemiartistry.com/shop
