The owner / Author / Curator

---

Patricia Wood is a self-published author and creator of DareToListen Poetry and Poetic Film. Her work is created for others who do not have the courage to express themselves. As an entrepreneur in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she has designed and created DareToListen from the ground up, on her own and branched out all over social media platforms. 

Not only is she a hard working independent business woman, she is now known as the curator of DTL Poetic Vibez. This new found showcase and open mic atmosphere has made it's way to DTL. Forming an amazing team, she has brought a platform other poets can join to express themselves. 
She has created six official DTL Poetry Volumes and is continuing the series. In cooperation with her written work, she has also added film into her Poetry venture. She has developed a vision unlike any other in hopes to shed visual perspectives on Poetry. You have heard poetry, but have you seen it?

At DareToListen / DTL Poetry, our mission is to continue to create a safe space for all poets to share their voices. We open our platform to poets all over. We have a variety of featured poets and open mic signups, that venture from various cities to join our 

Poetic Vibez Events.

You can find our events held at Philly Create Studios.

Our team is amazing! Passionate about DTL's vision for poetry, they are driven through the creativity of Visual Arts and Entertainment.
