Geron Ruiz is a 23 year old spoken word artist who does not like long bios (for himself). Hailing from Arima, he is a teaching artist at the ROOTS Foundation, a director of the local spoken word collective, The Stragglers Inc., and a zero time National Poetry Slam finalist (he made a couple semis, though). Having recently completed his degree in English Language and Literature with Education at UWI, St Augustine, he is currently hoping his writing career takes off before having to get a dreaded “day job”.
