My Favorite Poets May Not Be Your

For Many Years, I Thought A Poem Was A Whisper Overheard, Not An Aria Heard.

One Definition Of Eternity Is That We Are Not Alone On This Planet, That There Are Those Who've Gone Before And Those Who Will Come, And That There Is A Community Of Spirits.

My Inspiration Comes From Everywhere, Just Walking Down The Street And I Never Know Where It's Going To Come From, So I Keep A Notebook With Me At All Times And The Only Criteria For Anything Making It Into That Notebook Is If It Stops Me In My Tracks For Even An Instant, If It Catches My Eye Or My Ear And I Just Write It Down.

All Of Us Have Moments In Our Childhood Where We Come Alive For The First Time. And We Go Back To Those Moments And Think, This Is When I Became Myself.

I Was Apprehensive. I Feared Every Time I Talked About Poetry, It Would Be Filtered Through The Lens Of Race, Sex, And Age.
