I…AM…RoMeO-HoMeO ô£ tHę MåRtïÃñS >{:)…AND…
I am proud, honoured, and pleased as punch that two of my pieces, “who’s zoomin who (on the FREEway of LOVE!)” and “MåRtïÃñS INVADE FLORIDA!!!” shall be published in such a worthy publication, and in what promises to be an amazing issue, “Intersections”.
As a sneak peek, I’ll be performing “who’s zoomin who (on the FREEway of LOVE!)” at tomorrow’s Synkroniciti Soirée open mic. “who’s zoomin who (on the FREEway of LOVE!)” incorporates lyrics from the song “who’s zoomin’ who”, off the album of the same name, by the late, GREAT, Miss Aretha Franklin!
I told editor, Katherine Grace McDaniel, who is in Houston, TX, how I purposely chose to submit this piece because it takes place at a poetry festival in South Texas, via Zoom, where I was absolutely dumbfounded by the bigotry to which I was exposed.
My gratitude to her and the rest of her editorial staff for having, as she put so well, “the last word on Texas”!
If you’ve never had the good fortune to hear Ms. Franklin’s song and album, do yourself a huge favour and scope it out!”
I’ll also be reading “Love, Defined”, which I dedicate to the memory of my loving father, who passed into the light on November 18th, 1997.
I hope to see you all there!
Thank-you ever so much again, Katherine et al.! >{:)
You are so welcome! I am looking forward to hearing your reading tomorrow and meeting you online.
Texas is a big, beautiful state–I’m sorry that some folks here don’t have big, beautiful hearts. Synkroniciti does our best to fight the good fight for creative people against bigotry.
Best!
