Poetry and Music Concert

Born in Pittsburgh in 1957, Michele Dalton is a self-taught poet, actor, singer, writer, and coordinator of events. He began writing at age 12. Separating from society, Michele lived in an abandoned house in West Philadelphia: there was no electricity, no running water, plastic for windows, candles for light, and a fire place for heat. For two and a half years, he wrote and rehearsed what is now his core body of works called the “Wind Spirit Movement”: a combination of spoken word poetry with and without music, vocal songs with and without music, monologues, and short stories. After leaving the house, he began creating his own concerts everywhere and anywhere he could throughout the United States and abroad.
