Hot nickels is a book/ mood prepared as food
for thought dishes. Everyone is welcome to a plate
of intrigue, passion, love and shoe fly pie to dine from along with being a challenge for all to
become better friends,citizens and never forget the essence of the Harlem Renaissance
. Hot nickel.. is needed as much
as the HR was in 1920. Many of the
respectable cultures and attributes across the world are celebrated, however
African American culture at times is overlooked and not fted and embraced. Hot nickel... is not only an
attempt, but a haunting desire to commemorate the thoughts, lifestyles and food
dishes of African Americans poetically.
Every poem, abstract, story and haiku was carved, shaped and written to
stick to the ribs of the mind and soul.
Every piece was prepared for all to nibble, gnaw, sample, eat and digest
in hopes of your mind becoming fat and filling. Hot nickels & kool pennies: khocolate happi vibin broken into
three to five counterpart/ meanings.

The subtitle/restaurant KHV (chocolate was ebonixed
and spelled with a K instead of a C for Kenny (who is the leading
chef of the vibe) and chocolate is the color of the African Americans
people. Chocolate is deep, sweet and
rich like the sonnets and writing of the vibe and designed to make you smile
(mentally) as chocolate does for many. Happy is ebonixed like chocolate and
spelled happi for I needed to emphasize. Happy defines celebration, triumph,
and ending of sorrows and tough situation much like our lives. Vibe symbolizes the feeling of place and mood
when creating a masterpiece through penmanship A deep, sweet and rich
celebration of triumph, pain and overcoming feelings of everyday life in the
worlds of all of us.

thank you selection: 

First and foremost I have to give the deepest, sweetest craziest praise to my big brother, father and friend – THE LORD. The kitchen got overwhelming and too hot at times but your strength and guidance allowed me to flame on. To my mom who only can sample the mild dishes for the hot ones would give her a heart attack, I give thanks. Your love and motivation is always appreciated for its so sweet, serine and natural. It is never easy trying to feed the world but you showed me how to give everyone a snack and allow them to cook for themselves. To my fans and supporters—I give the utmost thanks and praise to you for the love and sampling—for I only know its good if you keep tasting and sampling. Again I apologize for the late feast – but it’s hot and spicy just as you like. Thank you to Richard Harris. THE R (R.I.P) I miss you and thanks for the encouragement along the way – you gave me faith when I needed the most. To Marge. I am still missing you. To Shan—I just can’t say enough about how the smallest things you say are so damn large. Your work is the shit with diarrhea and the love and respect I have for you is enormous. To Carl Williams; you know for certain the bulk and first edition of this work was completed in 2002 and for years I sat on the project for various reasons, and although tons of the original material including the original title were trashed without you some of this good food would have been spoiled. Thank you for pushing KHV and me. TO Che; I appreciate our 40 sec to 40 min talks. It’s important you know our 40 second talks (artistic biscuits) fills my soul more than three to four hours of hot garbage I hear day to day. To the editors and additional artist—thanks you taking out the bad pieces and adding the lyrical cream of tarter for my mental. To Tawana: you’re the sweetest friend one could find and without you calling and helping on the previous projects I’d be up shits creek without paddle the first. Thanks to A.H for serving the public with the feast and bringing the buffet to bedrooms across the world. Thank you to all my friends—I thank you all and love you all—FOR without you there would be no me—To CHAD—Thank you for always being there for a brother and understanding I think sometimes what would it be if you weren’t here; enough though on that one. To Terry: I really do appreciate your friendship and support to, of and for my work. Your honesty and dedication to my material has pushed me to become a more explouential writer and chef. To be a potent cook it takes a great deal of infamous recipes and plenty time to practice in the kitchen To the new fans and supporters continue to support and help the ghetto dove to always spread his wings in the dark sweet nutmeg flavor of the urban terrain. Just know and believe hot nickels & kool pennies was not written, but crafted. I don’t know how to write anymore …but craft. You only deserve the best mouth watering feast one could muster up. A big smothering hug goes out to Dr. Beverly Skinner, Rita Smith and Dr. Catt for Millersville University 1996-1999 and all the supporters of Slum Beautiful. The movie/movement is on its way.
