The Lexicon Collective: Recent Episodes
Sammy Jaye-A
The Lexicon Collective is a spoken word poetry podcast that was born out of the minds of Sammy Alphano and SammyJaye. It was quickly noticed that both young men were able to discuss various topics by writing pieces of freeform poetry that touched on a subject that both of them agreed upon. Before long, the two of them decided that not only was the sharing of poetic pieces helping them but that maybe they would help others and thus The Lexicon Collective came into existence. Not only do they share their own pieces, but the discussion and analyzing of other poets' pieces are done along with many guest poets and artists.
