Author, Poet, Novelist, Complex Carbohydrate. Poetry is my first love, and it's been published extensively over the last 10 years. I am also the author of the novel entitled: "MANHOOD... The Longest Moan." It's now available at bookstores nationwide and overseas. Check it out IF you can handle an *adult* story with a beat, a pace, a heart, and a soul that’s rich in poetic realness. Manhood… The Longest Moan is published by Q-Boro/Urban Books...
Yeah, I'm a Writer, a Thinker, and a Lover of Humanity...but none of these things make me any Better, Greater, More Important or Epic than the next cat or chick. Note to all Artists: Let's keep our Egos in check up in here, shall we? Unless you have the cure for Cancer, Diabetes, M.S. or AIDS, then you're simply another person with talent... a talent bestowed upon you by The Creator... so... with that in mind: *PONDER... a Reality Check!* Reality Check!!!
Book Quote:
"Sometimes, the sound of Tito Puente's timbales would salsa Pascal coolly down East 183rd Street, and he felt high. That night, in fact, he WAS high, spinning off cheap wine, good reefer, and sounds. He was feeling no pain and almost breathing the syntax of singing. That was when the streets, the people, and all of it became sort of beautiful, and even poverty put on a better suit of clothes."
