Jody Whitt, talented artist, urged me to bl(AH)g long ago. I've stumbled upon great & untidy & unexpected surprise stuff on the net & maybe, just maybe, I might surprise someone someday somewhere somehow with something I've included here.
"As soon as the generals and the politicos/can predict the motions of your mind,/lose it." (Excerpt from the poem, Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front by Wendell Berry)

UniVerse of Poetry
The Pulitzer Center commissioned me to set the poetry of Kwame Dawes. Kwame and I have worked together on numerous projects. HOPE focuses on HIV/AIDS in Jamaica. You can visit livehopelove.com AND UniVerse of Poetry to read the poems, hear the music and see the astounding work of photographer Joshua Cogan.
