“What is safe?”

Words and Music by Metta Sáma EXCERPTS: “King’s book is not quiet; hers is an aesthetics of sound fractured, fragmented, compounded, mixed, remixed, sampled, jointed, yes, even anointed. (Check out the cover of this book, it’s sparseness of image, this blaringly red background, these glaringly gray figures, mouths open. Caught mid-pounce (whose in danger? (you…

Congrats to Civil Rights in New York State

Congratulations to all of those New Yorkers who exercised their long-overdue civil rights yesterday and got married!

I’m thinking aloud here due to recent incidents that have brought Chicago and its poetry scene to my attention. If you’re actually interested in just how asinine one tiny…
