This week we present poet Lacey Roop.



Lacey Roop is a nationally acclaimed spoken word artist. In 2011, she placed 6th at the Women of the World Poetry Slam (WOWPS), has been the Austin, TX Individual World Poetry Slam (IWPS) representative as well as a two-time member of the renowned Austin Poetry Slam. Roop has toured everywhere from Texas to Canada and everywhere in-between. She has shared stages with numerous artists from finger-painting kindergardeners to The Wailers. She is the author of three self-published chapbooks and one full length collection, And Then Came the Flood, published by Timber Mouse.

What is far more interesting about Lacey, however, is that she and her dog wear the same size pants. She also wears a key around her neck that unlocks the bottom of the ocean. Really, it does. She'll tell you what lives underneath, just ask.
