It was interesting to hear that Mackey struggled with the pronoun "we"; he tells us he's not even really sure & it is subjective #USAMackey

[Anna Van Derwood @shubeedoowop]

I love that Mackey stays loose and able to find humor with us despite the seriousness of reading poetry academically #USAMackey

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

Mackey's Stick City goes to show he truly does enjoy writing art.He is able to include humor in a very deep piece #USAMackey

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@andrewtheo27 Music has a way of bringing people together.For example religion:complete strangers bond together & disregard race #USAMackey

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@kemjacks Mackey is does an excellent job at keeping his references broad. Never does he refer to a single being or thing. #USAMackey

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@kemjacks his poems quickly draw you in, almost immediately. The descriptive words he uses seem to capture your mind & guide you #USAMackey

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@kemjacks I feel as though Mackey's overall theme is connecting with the body. His poems relate a lot to touch and feeling. #usamackey

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@Breechhhh I believe he would. I think his poems are exactly that but without the beat. His words are very deep and profound #usamackey

[Aren Valrie @valrie_aren]

I love how Mr. Mackey uses descriptive words and imagery to convey his message to the listeners.

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@shubeedoowop I like how his poems are constructed of short phrases.Grammar isn't necessary to create a moving poems #usamackey

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

What made Mackey so passionate about this poem? Where did the spark come from & why has he been so driven to write for 30 years? #USAMackey

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

How does poetry affect present day racial relations? Does it get people thinking? Or is it just someone expressing their ideas? #USAMackey

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

Before, the KKK was just another story of history. However, when I saw this, I trembled. How horrifying #USASelma

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@kemjacks Although I knew the severity, being in this situation caused me to feel the fear and uncertainty, not just read it. #USASelma

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@kemjacks Selma was a amazing experience. Being put in the shoes of a slave really opens your eyes (literally) to it all. #USASelma

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@kemjacks Definitely. I feel as though I know more of our past, & I can use this to try to help prevent it from repeating itself. #USASelma

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@kemjacks Of course we can.In the early years of Maris Gras, it was just as segregated. Even still has some unwritten segregation #USASelma

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@kemjacks @margaretlbrown @UofSouthAlabama Being from New Orleans, it is very cool seeing all the talk about Mardi Gras tradition #USASelma

[Jackson Bauer @jpbauer109]

@kemjacks Today's protest need to be peaceful, not violent.Just like Dr. King says. Violence doesn't work #USASelma
