Reuben read at DC's Busboys & Poets as part of the book tour for The Ringing Ear: Black Poets Lean South. Nov. 18, 2007. Reuben contributed three poems to this anthology, edited by Cave Canem.
One of DC's greatest poets! His poems have the effect of a punch that you don't see coming, but puts you on your butt. His poems are funny and always meaningful. get his book, "Fingering The Keys"
Great reading. The camera framing seems to reinforce the poet's well known shyness tendencies!

Thanks for posting this video, Reuben--I hope next time I will get the pleasure of seeing and hearing you in person!
