Meet a Poet: Patrick Washington

About the poet: Patrick Washington was forged in Washington DC’s vibrant arts community of the mid-90’s, finding his voice on DC’s famed U Street corridor. Nationally, as part of the dynamic hip-hop poetry ensemble POEM-CEES, he spent the early 2000s as a regular performer on HBO’s legendary Def Poetry TV series. He was commissioned to create a poem dedicated to the monument to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, which he performed at the unveiling on the National Mall on October 16th, 2011. He is the creator of Prince George's County’s Youth Poet Laureate program, giving young people the opportunity to collaborate with city officials & serve as poetic ambassadors for their community.
