deconstructing red clay

It's not just a new year. It's a new season.



 
A few years ago, Israel Houghton came out with this dope song, “It’s a New Season.” I sang it and sang it until I moved into my new season. What ensued was my poetry CD, I Saw Myself. Then I moved into another season and I started teaching, started a small press, Crimson Kairos, and released a book, Red Clay Legacy.

Well, guess what ya’ll? It’s about time for another new season. I am working on the CD companion to Red Clay Legacy. It will allow me to record the poems from the book that have become stage favorites. You know... The ones that people always want me to perform at gigs. I am also learning more about my craft, poetry, and I am looking into other genres of expression. Still too shy to elaborate about the other genres... ;o)

And finally, I am working on my second book of poetry. It is a deeper look and far more revealing than my previous work. It seems like the perfect time. It’s a new season and I want to explore and reach and stretch and push the boundaries as much as I possibly can.

I wish the same for you as we embark on this next year. Much love to you as you recreate yourselves and move into your new season!
