Meet the poet
Larry Barron, also known as, LB the Poet, was born in the city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Larry began writing when he was a student attending Clemmons Middle School. He revealed that the day after his grandmother died, his principal pulled him out of class and encouraged him to write down everything he was feeling at the time. Larry expressed from that day forward he’s always taken time to write. He began performing over 10 years ago when he performed a poem called “The Letter” in Greensboro and from that moment he knew he had discovered what he was destined to be, LB the Poet.
Through poetry and other forms of literary expression, Larry Barron has been able to influence and inspire younger generations to remain focused and flourish in their future aspirations. Larry’s latest intellectual collaboration is called Word Academy. Ashley Academy, Winston Salem Street School, Parkland Magnet High School, Reynolds High School & Wake Forest University have entrusted him to creatively cultivate his unique teaching techniques with the students from their schools.
Larry has transformed his gifts into a source of therapeutic relief and resourceful literary education. Not only has his powerful words motivated the minds of children and adolescence, but he has also created platforms for other poets/non-poets to be able to speak their truth.
