October 17 was black poetry day. We can still celebrate voices that lifted us up to soar with the eagles across bitter design and cruelty. We celebrate Wheatley, Hughes, Brooks, Hayden, Baraka, Angelou, Giovanni, Sanchez, Madhubuti, Clifton, and hundreds more.

I am so excited about my upcoming event. I am bringing a few great poets - great women poets of color - for what is sure to be an exquisite evening of poetry.
Please come and join us on November 2 at St. Benedict the African (66th and Stewart).

I'm excited to be honored by my good friend Dr. Haki Madhubuti. I would be delighted to have more of my friends there to help celebrate Third World Press Foundation's fifty-fifth anniversary.

I want to thank Contextos for hosting me this past weekend. The audience was intimate and engaging. Many of the audience members were writers as well, and I wish them continued success as they write from their souls.
