Individual Features on Cody Winger


“The poetry of Cody Winger is not easy to define. Dark, yet beautiful, with hope mixed in. It’s the kind of poetry that can really dig into your skin, and at the same time, inspire.”

“Equipped with the ability to captivate audiences, Cody Winger exudes an inspiring rush with his emotionally provoked poetry.” “Deann performs with a unique brand of passion weaved into cleverness, thus leaving spectators pleasantly affected.”
- David Alberti, SLC/NJ Poet

Mention by their future coach Michael Dimitri in City Weekly 3/25/09:
“Name some local poetry slammers that are on the rise. "
"A few poets other than myself would be Cody Winger, Jesse Parent, and [a poet known only as] DeAnn.”

“Cody and DeAnn represent the future of the Salt Lake slam poetry scene. They are committed not only to their craft, but to their community. They are both great examples of what talent combined with a great work ethic can do for artists.”- Jesse Parent, Salt Lake City Slam Master

“What struck me was their writing. Wordsmoke was a great duet; one I’d love to have at my venue.”
- Seth Walker
