About:
Mitchell Odom is a powerful voice in contemporary poetry, weaving raw honesty with lyrical depth. His work blends elements of memoir and social commentary, exploring themes of emotional resilience, cultural identity, and personal transformation. Mitchell’s poetry speaks from lived experience, offering a window into the complexities of healing, masculinity, and the struggle for self-definition in a world that too often demands silence.
Whether delivering spoken word with unflinching passion or penning intimate reflections on the page, Mitchell creates work that resonates deeply with readers and listeners alike. His collections, including Raw Conscience: Poetry in Its Rawest Form and Poetry Through the Vicissitudes: Emotional Healing Through Expression, are tributes to survival and strength, crafted with vulnerability and purpose.
Current Work:
Mitchell is currently co-authoring a new book with artist Melodie Yvonne titled Sin and Skin, a bold and intimate collection that explores sensuality, body positivity, and the liberating power of self-expression. The project delves into themes of lust, sexual fluidity, and radical acceptance, celebrating the beauty of being unapologetically yourself.
While Mitchell often shares his spoken word in one-on-one settings or by special request, he also expresses his work through live performances, online platforms, and building spaces for dialogue and reflection. His work remains rooted in a mission to inspire, heal, and speak life through every verse.
