Good morning everyone,
Joshua Meyers, winner of the Broadside Lotus Press Naomi Long Madgett Book Award, will be having a book launch for his collection of poetry, "Holy Ghost Key" on April 6th in Washington, D.C. at the Sankofa Bookstore.
"Joshua Myers's Holy Ghost Key celebrates the essential role of African music in the continuity and sustenance of African Diasporic life and culture. Myers weaves his broad knowledge of African and African American music practices, genres and instruments with his memory of gospel lyrics and symbols evoking African spirituality, showing us the ways in which this music has been both the light on our path and the grounding of our historic journey. Though many of the poems pay tribute to the genius of contemporary musicians who have won popular acclaim, the entire collection reminds of a persistent African ancestral legacy."
Please see the note below from Dr. House that has the link.
Best regards,
Aurora Harris
