My name is Chosen Lyric. I am a 10x published Spoken Word Poet, from Long Island, New York. I currently reside in Florida on the Treasure Coast. In my last blog post, I was discussing participating in a poetry/ music open mic at SteamWorks Coffee and Eatery in Port St Lucie that took place over the weekend. When digging through my photos & videos on my phone, I realized I didn’t post anything from my very first appearance at SteamWorks for Christelle’s “Step2TheMic” event in February, 2024.
At my very 1st arrival, I performed poems from memory that were previously published in various anthologies, & took photos clumsily holding all of the books I have been published in with the exception of one. Even I myself am surprised that I actually got up to ten publishings before I decided to further pursue Rap Marketing, and then Real Estate after that.
One of the poems I performed was selected for publication by Long Island’s own, Kathaleen Donnelly, for the calendar collection “Paumanok II: Interwoven.”
My poem was about an elderly woman and her nephew, and how even though the relationship between family & economy can create absence & loneliness, in the end, what’s most revealing is being present when it matters most. Do you believe I able to properly capture the nuance of the situation?

As for me, there are some upcoming open mics this week around town, & I’ll be tailoring my craft further prior to seeking booking opportunities and feature performances.
