Matt Figgz is an educator in Brooklyn who loves reading, anime, and cold leftovers. He does writing workshops with middle schoolers and organizes an annual poetry slam between schools. He is also the co-founder of “Poetry in the Park” (@official_poetryinthepark), a free outdoor open mic series. Matt has a poetry collection, Adolescence, that is available on Amazon.

R.Sen is a New Jersey based spoken word artist, writer, and poet who found love for writing at the age16. She has since used this passion in many readings/performances, both online and in-person, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. It was during this time of uncertainty, that she found the power in her voice to speak her words. Her belief in poetry being therapy and the feedback from peers motivated her to begin composing her first collection, Introspectrum, ( \which is available for purchase now) so that she can not only empower her own life, but the lives of others around the world. With love and empowerment as a focus topic, her work is tailored to resonate with those who have struggled in life with heartbreak, loss, self-empowerment and self worth. 

R.Sen writes for her readers to find healing, strength, hope,and ultimately, self love by guiding them with poetry through her own personal journey and views. To stay in touch with her and her work, you can follow her on Instagram at @r.sen_thepoet.
