I am the middle son born in the middle passage, I live to bless mics, I write to maintain my sanity. I speak because that is my Divine Purpose.
I am The Poetry Man, and if I wasn't; then why would I say I am?"

His style is a hybrid of the Church, the Classroom, and the Corner. Equally comfortable in the basement or the penthouse, he bends words to penetrate and overcome all barriers to effective communication.
