Tomorrow I'm on the Lineup With...

Mayda del Valle!

Yes, one of my favorite poets will be sharing the stage/mic with me tomorrow... or maybe I'll be sharing the stage with her. Whatever the case, we're in a line-up together. I'm hype. The one poem I'm surely doing is Wilted Women. Any suggestions on the second?

Did I ever mention that she was the reason I decided to go natural/cut my hair off? I saw the poem I have below and was like "Wow. She chopped her hair off. That's bold." Then, it crossed my mind to do the same, I messaged her on Myspace, she got back to me months later like "Do it. It's liberating"... and here I am now. Anywho, check her out.

Here's a clip or two of her:


...and another performance of hers is on the post To All The Boys I've Loved Before. That's actually the name of her poem.

Uber Excited,
B
