Reaching beyond any sort of genre limitations that “performance poetry” might hold, Levi has incorporated every vocal influence into his presentation, successfully molding each variety into a purely emotive experience, and holds tight to an unrestrained honesty within his “hold nothing back” method of examining life’s deepest questions. Through a heavily testimonial written approach and an intense slam-esque deliverance, Levi has taken an old art and stylized it as his own, creating a passionate art form which captures the relative-yet-relatable longings of the human heart.
"These poems are stories from my life, journals; and I think that it is a miracle that folk actually listen to them. I pray that hope would resonate from those words. I very much appreciate those of you that have stopped by, and I hope that you are having beautiful days out there in that crazy world."
"Levi is just one of those special people with a unique gift for stirring things up. I know he stirred me up the first time I witnessed him on a stage. What got to me most was his genuine passion and gleaming transparency. Love me some Levi the Poet!"
- Chad Johnson - Come&Live! founder/X-Tooth and Nail A&R
"This recording of street-level poetry is loud and furiously mixed with emotion and the occasional sound effect, but it's the subject matter that slaps you in the face. When he delivers his post-suicide goodbye in 'When I Go To Meet God,' it's easy to feel the pain his loved ones would've felt if he had done it, just like his doubtful lines ring of authenticity."
- Doug Van Pelt - HM Magazine (2010)
"Out of control! Spoken word with an experimental approach and very powerfully written. Chaotic, raw, controversial, and energetic - Levi the Poet is a fresh taste of creativity and you would be doing yourself more than just one favor by checking him out."
- Laurel Erickson - HM Magazine (2008)
"Extremely passionate about writing since the 5th grade, Macallister's brand of poetry is the definition of wearing your heart on your sleeve. His stage is his confessional and while sometimes he is inclined towards inducing an uncomfortably honest experience, it's impossible not to love this guy."
- Jameson Ketchum - Hopecore Magazine

I love love love this. It's so fresh and new, and it truly just sounds amazing. I'm so glad I discovered you when I did, your poetry got me through so much
Rachel
So awesome! Love to see how you experiment with different styles and sound without losing the lyrical content. From your first EP to this you’ve only evolved, and it’s been a pleasure to see that evolution happen. Not to say the older stuff isn’t good. Because I love your older stuff.
Levi The Poet
Thanks Rachel. :-)
Nat Silva
This has been my jam all day. I’m so excited for this album!
Kegan
Was expecting you to eventually become a full hardcore band, but you became a hip-hop artist instead. What can't you do?
Mason CXVI
This is a jam and half. That jgivens addition is dope.
kerwinator
Wow, just wow. Amazing as always Levi.
Donovan Neri
Nothing is more mellifluous to me. Amazing!
Levi The Poet
Had to look up that word. Haha. Thanks!
Donovan Neri
Levi The Poet No problem man. That’s one word I know by heart because of poetry. You’re one of my favorite poets; definitely in my too 3!
