"On and beyond the horizon, Wellington's excursions into our body politic, psyche, purpose, and existence are multilayered and multifaceted. Content and craft are given equal time and focus. There is a nuanced reacquaintance with poetry's significance in Psalms at the Present Time. This poet chooses sturdy ethos and empowering authenticity. It is a worthwhile expedition." -Uche Nduka, Author of Living in Public and Facing You As a poet, playwright, performance artist, essayist and journalist, Darryl Lorenzo Wellington is a writer of many forms. But even his poetry presents a broad and multicultural aesthetic - spoken word, literary and verse forms, politics, and more. In Psalms at the Present Time, he is at his eclectic best. ** Death yawns stately. Death conjoins us. - whether we make music noise, love, or bourgeoisie war. Free assembly and funeral rites, these days, symbiotic, interchangeable. Siren sounds. We will not disappear ** we proceed like marionettes carried along on one string crowds of selfsame mouths our tongues chant now in unison the pitch like a cracked accordion then canticle is cant and cry. (from "Days of Protest")
