Public Notes

  • Mark H. Stevens

    Mark H. Stevens says

    Lord take this cup away from me....
    "I can't son, it belongs to you"
    But Lord this cup is too much for me to bear!
    "You can handle it, Jesus drank from the cup"
    But Lord I aint Jesus!
    "But He lives in YOU!"
    But Lord I am weak!
    "His strength works best when you’re weak"
    But Lord have you seen what's in my cup?
    "Yeah I know I put it in there!"
    But Lord there is sickness in my cup!
    "And I called you to heal"
    But Lord there is confusion in my cup!
    "And I called you to teach"
    But Lord there is pain in my cup!
    "And I called you spread my Word"
    But Lord why do I have to drink THIS cup?
    ”Because I want you to act like my Son!”
    Last question Lord....Does everyone have to drink this cup?
    "Everyone has to taste their reality"

    Happy Holidays. Sorry i didn't return a note sooner. I hadn't been on Shelfari in a long time. I haven't had a chance to order your book yet but haven't forgotten about it. I just went back to school and all the books I have been reading have been text books :)
    Happy Merry!!!!!

    In a moment of pique and frustration Virginia wrote an open letter to Oprah, and shared it with a few writer friends who are going through the same thing we are. Now the letter has started to go viral--getting a lot of repostings and inclusions in blogs, newsletters and on Facebook, so in case you hadn't seen it, we wanted to share our plight, the plight of many black authors with you, readers who have supported us all these years. http://twomindsfull.blogspot.com.

    In reality Oprah is just a metaphor--a name that might get this subject the attention it deserves. Because when you have a publication like Library Journal listing their 31 Best Books of 2009 http://ow.ly/HDU7 and the "genre" fiction list includes Street Lit --8 books but no category for contemporary African American writers, we are really in trouble.

    Make Merry....

    "Better your anger and fears flow like ink from a pen onto the page, or paint onto a canvas, than blood on the sidewalk. Better your blows strike the faces of drums or cords of melody, than the faces and backs of women and children!"

    Excerpt from Writer's Block

    K. Caprice Arradondo

    Michael Collier

    Michael Collier…

    You left me here without a father figure.

    Who would have known you’d go before I got bigger?

    Birthdays, holidays, and seasons have gone.

    Did God take you intentionally to see me do wrong?

    Memories of you in my mind aren’t close to visual.

    It’s like I knew you, but lost you when it all got critical.

    A black child with no father—it’s typical.

    In your case, to me, it’s sort of pitiful,

    but I forgive you for losing direction.

    Wish I was old enough to tell you sex is a weapon,

    but I couldn’t, and now it’s too late,

    so I’ll see you when I get there and greet you at heaven’s

    gate!(Wrap it up) R.I.P Michael Collier.
