Fragmented Blues merges poems affected by the influence of traditional southern writing along with worldly explorations across two decades. The author, being typecast as a romantic blues poet, has studied and infused the elements of poetry writing as was formed by the English Romantic Poets, the poets of the Beat Generation, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Black Arts Movement predominantly. In travels, the poet has met poets and peoples representing every nation of the globe, mostly. Becoming part of the underground art life scene through Jackson (Mississippi), Chicago, Ft. Pierce (Florida), D.C., Naples (Italy), the Middle East (Bahrain, Dubai, and Iraq), invigorated the movement of the poetry between variable tones and moods. The impressions of a simple day is Fragmented Blues; an exploration of true love, the remembrances of times before in youth, the details of troublesome moments in times of uncertainty, the coming of age poem by poem is Fragmented Blues.
Morning Come Quick is a compilation of poetry written during a time spoken word regained nationwide appeal in the U.S. and abroad as interest in poetry began to flourish among people of all ages and backgrounds. The poems were crafted in forms resembling traditional forms, prose, and free verse. The poet migrates and escapes being confined to a specific categorical type of author. To create a definitive conception of the writer from reading one poem would be to lay barriers in realizing the true intention of the man throughout the work. The title poem was written while living in Naples, Italy from 2000 to 2003 and being impacted by the changes America faced on a global scale. Many moments to gain clarity and solitude have resulted in the poetry of this book. To truly transpose the beauty and equally meaningful ugliness of the settings is a task as difficult as discontinuing the process of creating the art. Evenings constricted with love, pain, confusion, or inspiration and the mornings prayerful, delighted, fearful, or humdrum have all sifted through to live as words.
Africa for the Africans" was the name given in Africa to the extraordinary black social protest movement led by Jamaican Marcus Mosiah Garvey (1887-1940). Volumes I-VII of the Marcus Garvey and Universal Negro Improvement Association Papers chronicled the Garvey movement that flourished in the United States during the 1920s. Now, the long-awaited African volumes of this edition (Volumes VIII and IX and a forthcoming Volume X) demonstrate clearly the central role Africans played in the development of the Garvey phenomenon. The African volumes provide the first authoritative account of how Africans transformed Garveyism from an external stimulus into an African social movement. They also represent the most extensive collection of documents ever gathered on the early African nationalism of the inter-war period. Here is a detailed chronicle of the spread of Garvey's call for African redemption throughout Africa and the repressive colonial responses it engendered. Volume VIII begins in 1917 with the little-known story of the Pan-African commercial schemes that preceded Garveyism and charts the early African reactions to the UNIA. Volume IX continues the story, documenting the establishment of UNIA chapters throughout Africa and presenting new evidence linking Garveyism and nascent Namibian nationalism.
