    So I read this poem from my copy of Branches before listening to you speak it aloud and, though I love both, I will note that when I read it to myself it was almost more whispered lullaby than fervent declaration.
    Maybe it’s because it’s because of the words that got changed between one draft and the other or maybe it’s because when I imagine your voice in my head, it holds promises.
    I do love both versions, and the righteous passion of this one sets fire to my blood and makes me want to overthrow America’s current government. Still, I thought it’d be interesting to note...

    Are you Jewish? I thought I saw a Star of David in one of your slam poems you preformed. I couldn't tell if it was though.

      May I just say that you are a hero and an inspiration. I started following you recently and when I get enough money together I hope to buy your book. Thank you so much for your heart and passion. I hope someday to be half as good a poet as you. Thank you.
