Years later, the stress and pain of work and rough surroundings had taken its toll. As the boy's father stayed locked away as, more of his people perished for the deep dark nothingness of the fast life. Only jailhouse letters made his heart feel better. Watching the ghetto out the front living room window he cried in his Mickey Mouse pajamas. The mother was so young, striving for independence but she was just caught in the middle. Feeling quite helpless with tears streaming down his face, the young boy knew one day that things would get better for him and his mother.
"I am a poetic ghetto journalist". After the death of close family members and friend I knew I had to make a change and save and protect those I could with the Lord's help," explains Nash.
William Anthoney Nash jr. was born and raised in Louisville, Ky. His poetic voice began to develop at an early age. Nash first began writing his junior year of high school. The summer of 1999, after he graduated, he began to teaching poetry to intercity youth with The Neighborhood Dept. Later that year the first blue prints for "Nash's Rhyme Conglomerate" was completed. Immediately a very ambitious 19 year-old Nash began marketing himself to a multitude of conventional publishers, but the increasing levels of skepticism from white as well as black owned publishers and literary agent hindered its progress. The controversial idea of a Nash's Rhyme Conglomerate lay dormant.
After a three year hiatus, the dream now continues through the collaborative assistance of several multimedia companies and publishers. Nash has self-published, essentially creating what is now known to be NRC Publishing and Promotions Ltd Co. (www.nrcpublishing.com) where he manages, promotes, and publishes several underground poets.
Nash has since been published in Timbuktu, performed at The Harriet Tubman Cultural Center, The Underground, Scribes and Vibes, Caf Kilimanjaro, Expressions of You Caf. He has also worked locally with such companies as WW2 Productions whom have honorably hosted jazz and poetry show with Jessica Care Moore and the Last Poets. Nash is currently organizing a Nash's Rhyme Conglomerate II, an urban anthologies which includes over 50 new NRC poets from all over the world.
Nash has poetically graced the usage of syllables and vowels to articulate the pain which scream from our urban ghettos. He has shed light on the societal injustices which has plagued Black Americans for decades. He also soulfully exercises his talent by covering a number poetic topics with NRC first and newest authors Celine Derenoncourt and Nossfortue in the newly released "Nash's Rhyme Conglomerate."
