- What You Need to Know About Me:
- My first full-length book of poetry, Gnat Feathers and Butterfly Wings has been published by Wasteland Press!
You may purchase it from www.wastelandpress.net
My CD, Gnat Feathers and Butterfly Wings: An Experiment in Spoken Word is available for purchase from the E-Store at CreateSpace.com or at Amazon.com.
I also started my own line of apparel featuring artwork by Demostina and one of my original poems, "Still". My online store can be found at www.cafepress.com/gnatfeathers. Check it out!
Right now, I'm trying to raise money for my cousin Keith Zachary McPherson. He was paralyzed in 2006 but is working towards being able to walk. I plan on using most of my royalties to help his Project Rise and Walk.
I'm looking to network with other writers of color!
Time to Shed the Shyness! Here is one of my poems:
The Invitation
Under the stroke of your hand,
I am dewy.
My flesh plumps like a muscadine.
I see love
in the onyx pools of your eyes.
Come on, and
slip into something
comfortable.

About
SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!
Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.
We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.
