Fragmented Blues

Fragmented Blues merges poems affected by the influence of traditional southern writing along with worldly explorations across two decades. The author, being typecast as a romantic blues poet, has studied and infused the elements of poetry writing as was formed by the English Romantic Poets, the poets of the Beat Generation, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Black Arts Movement predominantly. In travels, the poet has met poets and peoples representing every nation of the globe, mostly. Becoming part of the underground art life scene through Jackson (Mississippi), Chicago, Ft. Pierce (Florida), D.C., Naples (Italy), the Middle East (Bahrain, Dubai, and Iraq), invigorated the movement of the poetry between variable tones and moods. The impressions of a simple day is Fragmented Blues; an exploration of true love, the remembrances of times before in youth, the details of troublesome moments in times of uncertainty, the coming of age poem by poem is Fragmented Blues.
