Success is a funny thing. I am glad for mine.
I am happy that I have been asked to currate events at places like The House Of Blues, The Walt Whitman Center, and more recently for 48 Blocks and The Bourre Atlantic City.
However, last night I am grateful for Andrea Nelson for inviting me to LOVE, LUST and BS.
Held at AC's Leadership Studio the adventures in poetry took me back to my roots.
No DJ's, no vendors, no mics, no people trying to sell CD's or tickets.
Just people sitting around sharing poems and stories because we all wanted to contribute our truth.
Just people discussing relationships with out the use of the word "TOXIC."
We were blessed by a sneak attack appearance of The Twin Poets.
And that is what made the night just like those nights we had back in the 1990's (at The October Art Gallery) because the best thing about those nights were the surprises.
We just never knew what a poet would share and often we were surprised.
I would be lying if I said I would trade where I am now to go back because I worked hard to get here. However, I am more excited about Love, Lies and BS part 2 than I have been about anything including poetry that I have witnessed in a while. There are some talented young voices and seasoned voices I heard last night for the very first time.
If last night was the start of the Ann Torres Movement and The Andrea Nelson Movement and The Love Lust and BS Movement?...I am here for that. And this movement is needed!
