Minneapolis, Minnesota (612) 860-7927
Renewal Date: 04/01/2022

Originally from Chicago, IL, Gregory Pickett is a Minneapolis-based poet, storyteller, writer and educator known for turning the difficult events of his adolescence and early adulthood - homelessness and substance abuse- into engaging, accessible narrative that bridges the gaps between us. After studying writing at Chicago State University, he has gone on to win several awards which include:
  • First-place finalist in the 2019 National Storytelling Festival Story Slam
  • 2019 Twin Cities: The Moth Storytelling Grand Slam Champion
  • 2019 and 2017 Minneapolis SlamMN! Storytelling Grand Slam Champion
  • 2014 and 2009 Rootabaga Poetry Slam Champion in Galesburg, IL
When he's not telling stories on a stage, he tells them in a classroom, through his work as a paraprofessional. He believes that every story or poem told has the chance to change somebody's life, and that makes them worth telling.
