Sand Castles

More about the book

POETRY SHOULD NOT BE BORING. MY POETRY WILL NOT SEDATE YOU, BUT BRING LIFE AND FIRE YOU UP. SOMETIMES MY POEMS ARE SONGS, SOMETIMES JAZZ WITH WORDS, SOMETIMES BLUES ON A PEN, SOMETIMES POLITICALLY BASED, SOMETIMES ABOUT MY EXPERIENCES OR SOMEONE ELSE'S, AND SOMETIMES ABOUT LOVE. I TRY TO WRITE FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE FOLK, SO THAT EVERYONE CAN "GET IT" FROM A BLACK WOMAN'S PERSPECTIVE. I HOPE MY POEMS MAKE YOU SMILE OR LAUGH, BUT MAINLY I HOPE TO MAKE YOU THINK IN LANGUAGE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND.
