2Deep has certainly made a name
for herself in the poetry community since 2006 by performing at
Ottawa University (Canada), Cornell University, and opening for the
late Gill Scott-Heron in 2009. She was a member of Busboys and
Poets? 2009 Slam Team, Word War II Champion, and served as the
Busboys and Poets' Slam Master. Currently, she?s selling her book,
Spoken Heard, and stays busy with her blog, 2DeepUncensored. 2Deep
welcomes the life lessons, as they make for beautiful and honest poetry. 
DJ Tao (pronounced 'Dow') began
as a philosophy major who loved to spin records during his free
time. In his heart Tao never strayed far from college. He dreamed of
returning to campus, not as a student, but as a performer. It was
therefore a very exciting time when he first linked up with E-Baby,
a fellow poet from the DMV. Tao and E-Baby joined their creative
forces and formed a poetry duet called ?The Pen & Paper?.
Together they took their high-energy act to students across the
country as part of Jus Wiggin's ?All Star Poetry? tour. After years
of experience and artistic development he stands as a well-seasoned
writer and performer, ready to inspire lovers of poetry just as he
was inspired so many years ago. 
Eric "E-Baby" Smith began
writing and reciting poetry in July 2000 with 95.5 WPGC?s Thursday
Night Love Talk & Poetry Caf_. Since then, he?s opened for
R&B artists Musiq Soul Child, Me?shell N?degeOcello, and Heather
Headley to name a few. He has featured his poetry, hosted poetry
shows, and taught classes as a special guest instructor at over 200
colleges and universities across the US. E-Baby has competed in, and
won, numerous poetry slams from Virginia to New York within his
poetical career. In 2011, he was nominated for the Male Spokenword
Performance Artist of the Year by The National Underground
Spokenword Poetry Association (NUSPA) and has released two albums.

This Louisiana
native found her voice in her teenage years when journal writing
evolved into poetry. Nothing about Rebecca Dupas' poetry speaks
to her quiet, reserved nature. Perhaps, it is something about her
passion, something about the stage, something about the microphone
that illuminates her boldness, something that grabs your attention,
something that moves you. She also hosts VERBATIMondays in Baltimore,
Maryland. Rebecca has released three poetry albums including her most
recent, ?Therapy Sessions: A Year of Epiphanies? (2010), and is at
work on her first poetry book, "Beauty for Ashes: The Exchange."
