Ursula Rucker


Ursula Rucker, from Philadelphia, PA, has been writing poetry since adolescence but kept her writings to herself until she read poetry in 1994 at Philadelphia’s Zanzibar Blue, which is credited as her debut. That very same year, Rucker was invited to collaborate with numerous recording artists, and producers most notably hip hop artists, The Roots. Rucker holds a reputation for unique poetry techniques and stage presence, which are described as "strong, vulnerable, wounded and raging.”
