Produktbeschreibung

Something Old, Something New, Nothing Borrowed Don't Have the Blues is a timely poetry anthology that traces the history of portions of our culture and paints a portrait of rural black history over decades. With excerpts of life, truth, reality, and the social stigmas of Chicago's ghettos, lifestyles, and how total devastation by drugs, race, and modern enslavement while battling history, integrity, and the historical economic growth and development of black America. A piece of the past, a piece of the present, a piece of the future, but above all, a sense of peace in sharing the pages of an anthology that relates to so many in so many diverse and positive ways. Neither blue nor dejected, Something Old, Something New, Nothing Borrowed Don't Have the Blues is a now-time creation with historical value and will take even that part of non-black Americans to a place where so many truths can be seen and the passion of history development from third-world existence to great leadership can be worldly recognized.

Autorenporträt

From an old shack in the Englewood area of Chicago Illinois I wrote my first poem, and expression of the emotion that moved me forward and helped me to survive the inevitable. Change would come and I would be a big part of it. I wrote about everything I couldn't talk about openly and I started writing about the things I could speak of openly but wondered who was really listening. I love poetry and literature but most of all I love how much society has changed to embrace the artist in all forms and fashions. From the great artist like Nikki G. The Last Poets and Maya Angelou, I submerged from the fog. Having the ability to move from writing a recipe book and hand painting greeting cards to the diversity in historical poetry and documentaries has blessed my positive energy to be if nothing more tenacious enough to share my truths and the visions I have for what I see as an art form. Poetry is art and I am just another artist.
