So this last week or so has been filled with poets left and right for me. NACA was a week ago in ST. Louis, which meant a lot of my poetry friends were to be in the area. SO It was nice to meet people I haven’t met but talk to and admire and people who I just hadn’t seen in ages. Queen Sheba from VA came through and spent a few days. Got to see my girls for the first time in like four years. I officially have ‘the biggest knockers she ever saw’. I need to get a ribbon for my dressing mirror to that effect.
I also got to finally meet and talk to in person Bassey Ikpi. Who so very soundly FCUKING ROCKS. We’ve been eFriends for close to two years. So it was really nice to finally get to sit down across from her and talk to her. I only got to spend a few hours with her - then I took her to the airport for her flight out. Meeting her was one of those days when hours feel like minutes.
Queen Sheba came in from ATL, I am working on learning how to edit the video I took of her reading, maybe I’ll get it up. It was nice to see her again, it had been years. WE got little time to talk but it was still nice to see her..Marc Marcel came through immediately
