This week's video features Eugene B. Redmond reading a tribute poem that focuses on poet Sonia Sanchez.
Sonia's Phat Moon Blues
moon phat in soprano & Philly Dog,
Sonia moans Alabama babies in civil mournin,
worryin Sterling's lines--!O Langston's--!O Gwen's
--!O High John's--!O Delta rootress's--name-
callin !Marie !Zora !Maya !Toni (s) !Alice !Gloria
& molten-sweet !Malcolm-tongued epitome epitome
--!resist--sayen dont pity me, sayen !resist . . .
def-like like vodun-muse ala Haiti,
Wolof-hip & down as Nubia Bop,
sista-giant riffs key of Georgia Slop
--!resist--of gods spillin out of wombs
like Philly phonics--!resist--like MLK ebonics,
bronze ballad-dear tonics, earth angel sonics,
Day-Lady's harmonics, trillin batons of !fire
