Artists: Tiffany Finkton, Crystal Goodwoman and the "Dopetrysts"
Location: Charleston, WV
"DOPETRY"- A new term meaning "Dope Poetry" was established April 2010 by a West Virginia State Student named Tiffany "Miss Talented" Finkton. Miss Talented came up with the idea early February of 2010 and simply had a goal of creating more of an outlet for poets who were truly into the art of poetry.
Most recently several "Dopetrysts" (term coined for someone who speaks dopetry) were asked by Poet Crystal Goodwoman to join her in S.P.A.C.E. in the downtown Charleston, WV area. This was an experience unlike any other participated in by any of the poets.
Once this time was over the dopetrysts all came together and stated that, "This opportunity was inspirational and is something that should really be done everyday. The opportunity to touch someone's heart with few written words from our souls is a chance that not one of us would pass up ever in life. On behalf of Dopetry, we would just like to thank S.P.A.C.E. for allowing us to participate in something this amazing, and we are looking forward to doing it again!"
Video of the Dopetrysts performing during S.P.A.C.E. can be seen here.
Dopetry can be contacted by emailing misstalented88@yahoo.com. Dopetry: Words of my soul, Vol. 1, was officially released on April 27, 2010 and featured 8 different poets from West Virginia State and featured all tracks produced by Miss Talented. The album is being sold currently based off of donations towards more products to get the word out about Dopetry.
