He got me my first signed book, took me to concerts, brought me to a celebration of Lorraine Hansberry, and also got me involved in theater in Harlem. My dad set it up-he was always getting me into trouble! He was both a violinist and a composer, very rare for a Black man at that time, and he took over my art education. How did that formative performance happen? Everyone else was around 17 or 18, and there I was! I feel as if I’ve stepped into this continuum of poets, and so I am speaking with them, as well as for them. ![]() They had organized a young people’s poetry reading, and I was the youngest reader.

The way they examined her now, made her question why she’d dared to come here today. ![]() Those once sparkling, take-on-the-world eyes Mary remembered as pale brown, coffee and cream, to be exact, seemed darker, more intense than ever. For a man who’d always been proud to a fault and strutted around, letting the world know it, his posture hadn’t om the waist up, anyway. His nearly black hair was longer than she’d ever seen it, and she had to admit it looked sexy all damp in disarray. When he’d first opened the door, she’d had to adjust her gaze downward to accommodate his being in the wheelchair. How could I forget a pest like you? Looking surprised, he used the hand towel from his lap to wipe his neck, as he gave her a lazy smile. Remember me? Yeah, he’d definitely been working out. From the looks of the bulging veins on his deltoids and biceps she must have interrupted his gym time.
