Superb Poetess, your honestly expressed appreciation of my work and your good wishes are more important than any kind of critical evaluation of it. That would be a wonderful day in this city if you were able to "sneak away" at some point and see my show at the Telfair. If not that, the price of Elemental is cheaper that a plane ticket and that would be one good way to have your own private viewing of the work.

Thank you so much for the lovely note on my page!

I've been away in Mexico for a long overdue holiday with my husband and it was such a lovely surprise to come back to emails and messages from my friends at CTI, and an honor to be selected to stand in the Spotlight.

Does my tan show? hehe

Thanks again!

A lot of your poetry dives into the deepest parts of everything Valentine's Day is about--Love. So visiting your work at this time is rather marvelous.

tye-off

we were young...having fun
and we wanted to go higher
I lay on clouds left my body

we were young...having fun
world wasn't as big as it is now

having fun

took me so high
he took me so high
over clouds...and it was fine cause
he was here with me
having fun

In The Shadow Land

The creek hollering woman spells play in glass bottles
Colorfully hanging in the trees
Singing whispers of dust roads and glory be’s wrapped up in dirty laundry
Roads and roads left to go imprinted in the seams of hands
And feet water up to knees
My prayers captured in their caps like maps
Face down and the sounds are captured in Oscars
History kinda sorta repeats
For she won’t be stopped
Looking glass reflecting truth sung in Orange Moons to Mississippi Goddamn
I sing in word form speaking in D… Continue

Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.
