I won an award! My poem, "Swimchant of Nigger Mer-Folk (An Aquaboogie in Lapis)" won the Coat Hanger Award on MIPOesias.com! There's a great write up on the poem right here. Thanks to Evie Shockley for selecting the poem for publication, Jenni Russell and Jack Anders for selecting the poem for the prize and Didi Menendez for creating this wonderful site.

I'm on YouTube! Check out this performance of "The Chitlin Circuit!" Props due to Amanda Johnston for posting this!
