A lot like life Blackburn’s poetry is sometimes uplifting, sometimes hilarious, sometimes romantic, sometimes fearlessly confronting the buried feelings of the human condition, but always worthy of appreciation and open to teaching and learning. Blackburn has had five poetry books published, performed these poems all over, and even won Poet of the Year by Beat Magazine. Currently Blackburn is a member of the Greenville, SC Slam Team and has been touring at various venues/bookshops behind his latest collection of poetry, Child Be Wild, published by Inner Child Press.
