Another Link In The Chain

June 21, 2009 Random

Wrote this for my first Father’s Day as a father: What is it about our society today?  The eternal optimist, I truly believe that there is always hope, for the individual and for our species as a whole, but there is one thing I can’t figure out?  On a daily basis, I met people – [...]

Kobi Onyame – He Said, She Said

June 16, 2009 Music

It ain’t easy. Talent is something that we, as human beings, have in abundance. The creation of beauty, melody, harmony is second nature to so many in our midst, yet we may never hear, see, touch or feel most of what is out there. That said, the birth and evolution of social media might just [...]

Kojo Baffoe – Staccato Rhythms

June 14, 2009 Poetry

Some say poetry is meant to speak for those who cannot speak. It is a tool for revolution. And those who can speak it, have a duty to only reside in that space & that spirit. This is a debate I have had with some of my peers, over the years. I believe the Word [...]

June 12, 2009 Poetry

Is it strange to have a favourite poem, that you wrote? Well, not necessarily wrote but you were there and the pen was in your hand. Who knows where the words come from. Are we merely channelers?

Urban Soul Poetry Slam Winner – Buthelezi

June 2, 2009 Poetry

I’ve never really been sure how I actually feel about poetry slams. I had the opportunity to tour the UK in 2006 as part of Hammer & Tongue‘s Four Continents Poetry Slam Tour and that was fun because it was the same 8 poets, grateful for the opportunity to share our work. I just find [...]

Taalam Acey – Love/Erotik

June 2, 2009 Poetry

As I crawl out the trenches, find my way through a self-inflicted writer’s block, I have started to read, and watch, and listen to poetry again. I have stepped away from my desire to write and allow myself to experience the joy that is the written and spoken word. Someone I have recently come across [...]
