I GET POETRY! SO I BUY POETRY! IT'S JUSTICE!

But before I share my recent purchases, perhaps you'll consider purchasing one of mine for a good cause: a poetry fundraiser for Youth Justice Coalition, an L.A.-based nonprofit working against the criminalization of youth of color. Click HERE for the fundraiser and if you scroll down you'll see reference to my book AMNESIA: Somebody's Memoir. I believe there's only one copy left of the ones I donated--if you buy this through the fundraiser, I'm happy to toss in another book or two when the book is sent to you!
