Issa was born in the UK and
spent his childhood in Southampton, returning recently, and moved to London aged 16 where he lived for many
years. Stories and poetry have always
played a part in Issa’s life with his major influence being the music culture of the
80’s, particularly hip hop.
2007 was the year of Issa’s first live
performance and he has since cultivated his skills, delivering work
which is focused heavily upon his knowledge and observations pertaining to
everyday life. This poem forms a part of his protest poetry and reveals the very core or Issa, 'peace.'
Through his studies of
theosophical teachings and personal experience, Issa has developed an
understanding of the ways in which poetry can be used as a healing medium and
its ability to empower us as individuals. Issa hopes that his poems will make a
difference to individuals and in so doing,the world in general. Quote: ‘Through poetry I can perhaps make the incomprehensible accessible and provide a ‘soundtrack’ to life in all its glory and gloom.’
