When I Was a Shorty
Collection of Short Pieces
Tucker Duncan is still in his teens, but his extensive travels and collected life experience give his work an authority you wouldn’t expect in one so young.
He is primarily a poet, but Tucker’s poetry is intended for active live performance rather than passive silent reading. His style blends the Hip Hop cadence of House Music with the movement and rhythm of Stomp. His work is truly difficult to describe but impossible not to enjoy—which has made him a favorite No Shame writer/performer.
Tucker is an arts entrepreneur who has hosted poetry slams in coffee houses and other venues, as well as being the primary force behind the newly-established Live Arts Poetry Lounge. By providing opportunities for both established and emerging poets to come together, write with each other, and by finding alternative venues for readings he is creating a community of artists while simultaneously opening their work up to a brand new audience.
Poetry will never be the same again.
Contains adult language and themes. #14-003a Sample text:
