Tyehimba Jess and the SongbirdLast night, I went to the Bowery Poetry Club... Well, I spent the day trying to get to the Bowery Poetry Club. I intended to make the 3pm celebration of the life of Sekou Sundiata. However, I couldn't get my act together. The next event at the BPC was Roger Bonair Agard performing "To Be Young, Fast, and Black." Sadly, I Dynamic Triomissed that too, but everyone was raving about it. I am happy to report that I did make it to the after-party.

In the crowd were some of my favorite poets, including one Tyehimba Jess, whom I hadn't seen in way too long. I also met Willie Perdomo, whose reputation precedes him.

Roger and RuthAnd speaking of things I missed, night before last, everyone went to see Latasha Diggs WOW the crowd at the Whitney.

Here are some random pics.
