I just happened to come across Apollo’s story while searching “travel poetry” for a post… I am a huge fan of slam, and would love to see Apollo make a stop here in Seattle.
You can easily tell he has tons of passion and his heart is in the right place, thanks for the shout out Tyler!

I saw Apollo perform at a local open mic and I knew there was something about him right when he started his poem. He truly is a Saint of our time.

I probably would not even be on this planet if it wasn’t for Apollo’s words. There were times that I was super depressed and hearing his poetry helped me get through the toughest times. I’m so glad this site picked this story up.

Thanks for the props Mike. Raw, spiritual poetry, whether spoken word or conveyed through music can cut to the quick of your spirit and heal fundamentally. It can be a war cry against pain and struggle. It can be a shout of joy for the beauty of existence… I have to say, I didn’t pick this story up…it picked me up!
