Spoken Word Artist that promotes love in every facet. Romantic love, self love, love of all people.
Had a Mother’s Day brunch and he did thing!! The ladies was amazed by his choice of words! Very dope artist!
I have worked with the Prince of Poetry at three virtual events - the first in 2020 for an HR leader summit, and again in 2021 and 2022 for my own corporate Black History Month event. On each of these occasions he was incredibly kind and easy to coordinate logistics with and ultimately delivered a moving performance that captured our virtual audiences. Planning virtual events may be the “norm” these days but it still requires quality talent to entertain and inspire audiences. Prince of Poetry has done that for each of my events and I always receive amazing reviews from attendees following his spoken word performances. Definitely a positive experience and amazing talent to support any event - highly recommend!
What’s Love Got to Do With It?
I’m glad you asked.
Love has EVERYTHING to do with it as long as this God has anything to say about it. Eros is a poet, spoken word artist, storyteller, and true proponent of love. He has a unique way of convicting your heart while watering you until you blossom into the highest version of yourself. His way with words speaks to men and women alike, calling them to love in its most authentic and pure form.
I had the honor of featuring Eros at my annual HIV/AIDS awareness and testing fundraiser event, P.S. Love You to Death and he was nothing short of amazing in his performance. He was intentional with every single word and approached the event with such care and regard for not only the platform, but also the heart behind it. I was able to look out into the audience and watch as every person in the room broke in such beautiful harmony as he planted seeds of hope and restoration.
What else can I say other than I am called to love more responsibility every time I experience his work.
Eros headlined my nonprofit's Mother's Day brunch and brought the house down. He was professional, engaging, talented, passionate and everything our event needed! Some of us were already fans of his work before the event, but we ALL were fans by end. I recommend Eros for all events!
When Eros enters the room the vibe shifts before he even speaks. He brings a calming positive vibe into the air. It's truly amazing to see a black man Empower black women. It's also great to see a black embrace a journey of Healing and know that as a black man its okay to heal.
This is my third time booking Eros and I must say, it never gets old. He's always on time, connects and engages with the audience, and performs to a level that leaves the crowd in love with poetry. I'll definitely be booking him a 4th time and many more in the future. His talent makes such an impact on the events and my audiences loves him.
Response from The Prince of Poetry:
Wow! Truly humbled. Thank you so much for booking me. Your events truly make me rise to the challenge and I look forward to working with you again!
Had the pleasure of meeting Eros at Pop Up shop where he spoke was moved and overly determined to bring his skills along with fellow artist to our venue weekly to bring vibe and education to South Burbs of Chicago. We get witness their skills weekly
I worked with The Prince of Poetry for a corporate event. We were looking for someone to read a poem that was written by one of our employees and wanted a spoken word reading. The Prince of Poetry was the perfect fit, especially with his messages of love and self-acceptance. The author and my team were blown away by the final product, and will definitely be reaching out again to collaborate!
Response from The Prince of Poetry:
The pleasure was all mine!! Thanks for connecting with me! I'm really looking forward to connecting again!!
His presence, let alone the words in his pieces is just simply refreshing. He engaged the crowd and left us with something to think about. I would like to book him again in the future.
My organization hired Prince of Poetry for a recent virtual event. I mean his poetry gave me chills, literal chills. All of our participants LOVED his performances. Simply AMAZING and one of the best takeaways from our event.
Want to add flare to your event but leave people feeling full of love - full with thought provoking word play then hire The Prince Of Poetry. There are some that are talented and have quirky poetry- then there’s people who were MADE to express passion through lyricism.... and he is one of those people.
So versatile in delivery, he takes you on this journey with every individual piece truly conveying the emotion of it, and after spoken it helps you check yourself. No one piece is the same, definitely raw and authentic.its only been a few that I've come across that can captivate me like he does.
The Prince truly transcends anything I’ve been exposed to on a relatable level when it comes to LOVE and it’s intricate nature. His interpretation of his experience reaches so many people’s souls that they become one. His artistry is masterful as he takes us not just to a destination (using our everyday surroundings : street names, movies..) but to the core of ourselves where we ask deep questions that ignite meaningful conversations that force us to expose and stretch ones self in relationships and our own mediums. I love that each piece is central but has a completely different experience within that evokes so many different emotions. The Prince is truly an inspiring artist!

A native son of Chicago, Eros (The Prince of Poetry) got his introduction into spoken word very early. Growing up on Chicago's South Side, where hip hop and poetry were as relevant as Harold's Chicken and Wildwood pop, the Prince had no other calling than this: to wake up the consciousness of his brothers and sisters, and to be a shining light for the city.
The Prince focuses the bulk of his poetry- on love, togetherness, and self acceptance. Get to know him!
Christian Bowie, known commonly in the spoken word world as The Prince of Poetry is an artist who makes listeners feel his words and not just hear them. With a smooth sound and a cadence so rhythmic, The Prince of Poetry is evolving into more than just a spoken word artist, he is evolving into the embodiment of love, athleticism, sexual power and art.
The evolution from a Chicago boy with aspirations of being a hip hop rapper to the emergence of a King, clothed as a spoken word artist, The Prince of Poetry’s lyrical genius was far too influencing to risk being lost behind a beat. A rhapsodic conglomerate with the lyrical word play of Notorious B.I.G, the story telling abilities of Tupac Shakur and the conscience content of Lauryn Hill and CommonSense, The Prince of Poetry refused to abandon the influences of Langston Hughes, Nikki Giovanni, Maya Angelou, and the Last Poets.
Understanding not only the power of his voice but the impact of his words, The Prince of Poetry has not only been a performing poet for the last 14 years, he has impacted his city through mentorship, partnerships with organizations such as JPMorgan Chase Bank, The American Heart Association, and the Howard Brown Health Organization and the development and launch of Hot Chocolate Poetry, INC a non-profit organization focused on philantropic works throughout the city of Chicago and increasing exposure of the arts.
Financial advisor and business consultant by day , Christian Bowie is The Prince of Poetry. The National Spoken Word Awards 2018 Rising star of the Year, 2019 nominee for Best Open mic of the year and Best male poet and soon to be a common name not just in the world of spoken word, but in the world as a whole.
