Soft Opening
Flowing Precisely with The P.O.E
James Owen Brown is a poet, spoken word artist, and songwriter who performs under the alias The Poetically Organized Entity, or the P.O.E. Our conversation looks at the roots of his lifelong love affair with words and rhythm, the harrowing experiences of his childhood, and his adult commitment to cultivating joy, a sense of playfulness, and embracing tech as a new tool for the muse.
The P.O.E shares his resilience, his insight about expressing trauma through art, and three of his poems in this episode of Soft Opening.

Season one of Soft Opening is made possible with the support of the Niagara Falls Cultural Development Fund.
