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.

To Be Left with the Body Reading 10/23 @ 6:30pm

I'll be reading with Marvin K. White and Jewelle Gomez at Good Vibrations (1620 Polk Street). The anthology reminds us that black bi/gay men and HIV/AIDS is an ongoing and gnarled reality.
