... and he was supposed to be the featured artist-in-residence down here at the National Black Arts Festival this week (ATL).

Check out this excerpt from one of his poems. I can't help but go over it over and over and over again. It's deep how he summed up the complexities of dreams and reality in, like, two sentences:
