What happens when a dormant talent is awakened by a simple dare? Poet Awil takes us on her journey of rediscovery after five years away from writing poetry, sharing the pivotal moment when her sister challenged her to perform at Words Over Latte as a birthday gift.
The conversation reveals Awil's unique approach to creating and performing poetry. She discusses her preference for pairing poems with musical tracks, creating multisensory experiences that allow audiences to connect on multiple levels. With refreshing honesty, she admits to pre-performance nerves—"shaking in my boots"—while emphasizing her hope that audiences will "respect the mic" and find connections within her words.
For fellow creators struggling with creative blocks, Awil offers practical wisdom from her own experience. Rather than forcing complete works, she captures poetic fragments as they come to her, often while listening to music, later weaving these pieces into cohesive poems. This patient, intuitive approach has helped revitalize her creative practice and might inspire others facing similar challenges.
The highlight of our conversation arrives when Awil shares an exclusive performance of her new poem "You Only Reap What You Sow," exploring themes of love, reciprocity, and personal growth. Her powerful lines—"I've healed. I'm better now, teaching others to love me better"—demonstrate the emotional depth and authenticity that define her work. Don't miss her upcoming performances at Josh Lounge on July 10th with Ari the Vibe and at Lake Street on July the 17th. Follow her journey on social media and experience firsthand the power of poetry paired with music.
