Tonight's the big night. I've been so busy I didn't have a moment to say how wonderful UNLEASH at the Sangati Center was. All those voices. Cave Canem and South Asian poets. All the browns and sweet cadences. The shared chakra. My girl Samantha Thornhill.
I read a few of the feti(sh)ame poems. There were nods and laughter and vocalizations. It all meant something.
I'm excited about tonight. I will sail ashore in my body, all my body.
About Me
- K. Simmonds
- I'm a writer and musician originally from New Orleans and proud of it. All of my artistic work investigates perception and meaning. I'm extremely interested in tribal consciousness, especially the creation of fear and hysteria, and memory. I explore modern-day lepers--people whom society use as scapegoats to cloak their own transgressions--so that I can deepen my interior, my empathy. Through my music, poetry and essays, I re-member those whipping boys (and girls).
