My journey in the arts began when I wrote my high school song, poem,
and motto in 1972. This journey has included the following achievements:
the publication of My Book of Poems in 1996. I appeared on Good Morning
ArklaMiss and KGRM radio and T V stations in Monroe and Grambling,
Louisiana. Excerpts from my poetry have appeared in these newspapers and
publications: The Jackson Advocate, New Voices in American Poetry, The
National Library of Poetry, The International Library of Poetry, The Mississippi
Delta Forum and Poetry.Com. The Jackson Advocate and The Shreveport Times
have reviewed excerpts from my poetry collection. Excerpts of My Poetry has
been recited and performed in eight states.
What makes an artist? People have tried to answer that question since the
dawn of creation. I believe the essence of a good artist is to have the gift of the
creative juices. The creative juices are gifts that allow the artist to bare his/her
soul. Only when you use your creative juices can you call yourself an artist.view less
