Profile

Hometown:: NYC

Currently Reside In: (City, State, Country): New York

I'm a . . .: Reader, Writer

Have You "Freed Your Inner Book" Yet?: Yes

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.

Hope all is well with your art and your spirit. I would like to read your work, maybe I can share some of my own madness with you, as well (smile)
I congratulate you on Gnat Feathers!
