Backstory: They say tragedy comes in threes. I lost my grandmother, my daughter and her father all in the span of a month. My grandmother held my daughter's hand to the great beyond while I peeled her father's hands from my neck. Between fear of loneliness and the gradual escalation of abuse, I didn't realize how bad it had gotten. I didn't leave even though all the signs were there. I'm determined to change the word "Victim" into Voice. I believe you aren't in control of what happens to you, but how you react to it. If you're a woman reading this, I love you. I'm rooting for you, my fellow butterfly babes, no matter what stage you're in. You possess a magic that's merely your own. Now I need you to believe it! Sending you love and light. Please, keep fighting.

If you liked anything from the first three (Persona Non Grata, Nuclear Orange & DEMIgOD) or had the pleasure of experiencing him live then this collection will surely blow you away. This is what a Slam Poet writes when locked in the house and deprived of a microphone and stage while the world wages battle against global pandemics and partisan politics. When the father forces you to function in the favor he's fixed you in, fantastic fortune follows and falls at your feet. Speak and there will be a sea of similes setting at the shore of your tongue. The almighty mother of life will move mountains of metaphors out of your mouth in moments you don't even know you're prepared for. Christopher Michael Hootie Hooo

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. If God is the same yesterday, today and forever, then God is still the word. Poetry destroys and rebuilds. Poetry burns and soothes. Poetry cuts and heals. Poetry exposes the ugly and makes it a thing of beauty. Poetry makes me right when it forces me to write. Poetry purges all the emotional toxins left behind in my soul by careless humans with no idea the power of the weapons they wield. I have often finished poems astounded that I could have written it, it must be God. Who else but God could spill itself (the word) on paper in such intricate forms. Who else (what else) but God could create a series of sounds with the power to connect and manipulate the emotions of strangers. Poetry builds bridges. It explains the world and our reaction to it. Poetry is love.Poetry is life.Poetry is everything.
