Meet Shawn Yurina Richardson—The Prophetic Poet

Step into the mind of a man who refuses to color inside the lines. Shawn Yurina Richardson, known from the street corners to the stage as The Prophetic Poet, detonating straight fire! His words are living fire, burning through tradition, breaking chains, and setting hearts ablaze with every syllable. He’s the voice you hear in your spirit at midnight, the echo that won’t let you rest until you face your truth.

Born with a vision too wild for the ordinary and a soul too hungry for the surface, Shawn has made it his mission to drag the sacred out of hiding, splashing it across every page! His pen is a sword, his voice a trumpet, and his poetry is a portal-inviting you to taste the electric space where intimacy, faith, and raw human longing collide.

He’s not here to be liked. He’s here to be unforgettable.
He’s not here to fit in. He’s here to disrupt, heal, to resurrect and spread that blue fame!!
He’s the man who will call out the darkness by name, then dance in the glory cloud until the sun comes up.

From the pain of isolation to the ecstasy of divine encounters, from the chaos of the city to the hush of a prayer, Shawn pours every scar and every victory into his art. His books are collections of battlegrounds, sanctuaries, and secret rooms where the desperate, the broken, and the bold find their voice.

He’s the one who will ask you:
Are you just breathing, or are you alive?
Are you willing to catch the fire, or will you run from the heat?

Shawn’s journey is a living testimony of wrestling with angels. He has loved through heartbreak and turned wounds into a weapon of praise. He’s led by the Spirit and inspired by the streets. He is fueled by a vision of a world set free through the power of Prophetic Poetry.

If you’re ready to go beyond the surface, to see God in the sweat and the tears, to be haunted by language and healed by truth—
Welcome.
You’ve just met The Prophetic Poet.
