sonia sanchez "peace"

Breaking ALL traditional poetic boundaries. Not just because its her, but because its time to create anew. Amiri Baraka goes beyond to. Its tonal, its cadence, its true unrestrained creativity.

She is on point with PEACE what really is it. I loved her skat be bop......

Artist!

She is the reason why I poet.

EBE YIYE means It will get better

Shooby-Doo-Wap! Can you say nut case???

I took a workshop with Sonia in summer '05 at Naropa. Everone in her workshop was Sister and Brother; it's how she named and loved us all. I realized from her that poet was a verb. She wrote a long message to me in my copy of her Does Your House Have Lions? And her last words on the page were EBE YIYE!!! (it'll get be Her)

Thanks for posting this and bearing witness. She's amazing.
