			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="subtitle">NY Poetry Slam champion and now traveling documentarian, Apollo Poetry aims to make the world a better place one verse at a time.</div>
<p><strong>Apollo Poetry</strong> has won multiple poetry contests including the NY Poetry Slam and has been featured in MTV&#8217;S True Life, VIBE Magazine and Showtime at the Apollo. His style is passionate, spiritual and raw, bringing elements of beat poetry and <a href="http://matadorpulse.com/rapper-common-on-hip-hops-political-influence-respecting-differences-and-why-he-supports-barack-obama/">hip hop</a> to a synthesis that is making people sit up and take notice. </p>

<p>Apollo now calls himself The Traveling Poet and he is taking his spoken word on the road to film a first-of-its-kind <a href="http://www.bravenewtraveler.com/2008/08/26/brook-silva-braga-challenges-of-travel-documentary/">documentary</a> and share the creative spark that burns within him. </p>

<strong>&#8220;Apollo Poetry is a spoken word artist who has chosen words as tools of inspiration to bridge the gap between our cultural divisions and unite us back into the realization that we are souls having a human experience.&#8221;</strong></p>
