Poetic Recovery 

Created by Maurice “Soulfighter” Taylor set out in 2006, as a platform to give voice to artist in recovery. Poetic Recovery Poetic Recovery is a collection of cultural and educational activities that facilitate the nurturing of artists towards higher consciousness. These activities allow artists to reflect and perform for audiences from communities effected by traumatic experiences. These shared energies will help facilitate a cultural healing process between artists and community to recover of our cultural identity appropriated and exploited by the music industry that has resulted in cultural genocide.

In 2018 Hip Hop Congress recognized  Poetic Recovery as a viable platform for artists to be heard and a way to bring culture back to our communities and the artists. We live in a society that denies many of us the knowledge of our ancestral culture spiritually, physically, and psychologically.  Poetic Recovery reconnects us to that if we are willing to take the Poetic journey and find our way together.
