A passionate poet, counselor, and teacher. A native of Columbia, MD, Michelle "LOVE the poet" Nelson left her suburban surroundings to attend Coppin State University in Baltimore City, where she excelled in athletics and graduated in May of 2003, as a 4- year Honors Program Scholar. In 1999, as an undergraduate freshman, LOVE discovered the art of spoken word poetry. The discovery of this dynamic and cutting edge art form influenced LOVE to transform her affinity for writing poetry into a powerful and substantive spoken word performance, stimulating audiences of all ages and cultural backgrounds.
LOVE the poet has centered her spoken word career on social enlightenment, community outreach, and entertainment. She is the 2007 recipient of the Baltimore's Best Female Poet People's Poetry Award and of the 2005 Ms. Poetry People's Poetry Award. She is the host of "Spoken Serenity.. Be Free Fridays" in Baltimore, MD (which won the 2006 Best Poetry Venue People's Poetry Award), Founder of justlovepoetryink,LLC and active member of Poetry for the People Baltimore (P4PB).
