"I believe that poetry can change the world, and I believe that together we can change the world. Because whenever we take the emotions and the feelings that are inside of us and express them by creating poetry, it allows others who have experienced similar emotional journeys to connect with these experiences in powerful ways." - Michael Agnew

He relates to people of all ages and personalities due to his open-hearted spirit and practical approach to life. Michael is a graduate of Baylor University and received his Master of Arts in Christian Education from Dallas Theological Seminary. Dealing with a stutter since he was a child, Michael began rapping and writing poetry as a way to help him find his voice.
