TAKES ALL SORTS POETRY
Takes All Sorts Poetry is an assortment of styles, thoughts, and themes, but with one common thread-an observation of life and humanity. Takes All Sorts, Something, Kulcha-Jamaika, and Love reflect aspects of life the poet observes. For example, Frivolity was first written during the AIDs crisis when college students and everyone else were being warned about the dangers of unprotected sex. Frivolity has no problem with an anonymous one-night stand, but she has a problem drinking from the same soda can as her best friend because she might catch germs. The poem Absolute Truth is an eternal question that garners much discussion and disagreement, even though the beginning and end of an individual's life are indisputable.
Under the Kulcha-Jamaika section, the poem Chastis'ment, like The House on Seventh Street, is written in Jamaican dialect and is likely best read aloud and performed in the tradition of dub poetry. Chastisement means punishment. The poem is about a kid whose Jamaican mom warned them to stop wasting food or face starvation.
Takes All Sorts Poetry ripples through a variety of perspectives, from a wistful smile to vistas of deep thought.
