I didn’t have time to write a post today, so I thought I’d share a video. I somewhat randomly ended up at a poetry reading Wednesday evening. Roger Bonair-Agard was one of the poets and I was completely captivated by his words and performance. (Btw- that’s one of the things I love about NY. There are so many amazing events going on, you can just stumble into one on accident). He just finished a new book which is due out next fall, but if you have the chance to see him, I highly recommend it. Below is one of the poems he read, “The Tragicomedy” and if you like it, “Allegory of a Black Man”, which he also read, is on You Tube as well.
