  • Kanye West recognizes the poets that came before him, and takes on the responsibility to carry on their torches.

  • Working at Amazon warehouses = long hours, no overtime and punishment for getting sick.

  • TSA finds it unsafe and unwise to allow its passengers to read books during the last hour of its flights. Expressing literacy is, it seems, a new (and old) danger. This, I think, is only the beginning of mandates that will be driven by a passion for ignorance. Jumping from point A to point 2.W45 = no competent connection.

The Oasis of My Nation: Poems by Simone Youngblood

"The Oasis of My Nation" is Simone Youngblood's debut collection of ten poems, released in September 2008. The work meditates on words, their unapparent immediacies and the relationship of both to god. Fundamentally, it might be called an "experimental" book of prayer and thanksgiving. The poems were mostly written from the point at which Simone recalls (mis)acquiring language to 2008. Based on responses Simone has received from patient people who have read "The Oasis of My Nation," I urge you to close your eyes and put on your reading glasses before embarking. Simone is a poet born and raised in Northern California. She recently received her Masters in English/Creative Writing. The book is $4 in person / $6 shipped / $6.50 purchased/shipped through Paypal Paypal: Please don't forget to include your shipping information in the notes portion of your payment. Bless you all.
