    Author

    La T

    La T has been intrigued with the written word for most of her life, going as far back as the poems she made for her mother in elementary school. She was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and attended Southern University where she was exposed to Spoken Word events around campus, thus further falling for the art. She is currently employed with a Fortune 500 company and recently Obtained her Masters of Business Administration from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. La T had grown somewhat distant from the written and spoken word due to chores and commitments of everyday life. She recently decided to get back to simple pleasures, such as spending time with her passion! In doing so, she decided to publish a collection of some of her works. The selections contained herein span a period of time of approximately 17 years to date, inclusive of college writings, up through her present day experiences, vicarious or otherwise! Enjoy as you read La T’s Excerpts from Life… “A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.” – William Shedd

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
