Jaha Zainabu Last Run: The Corners of My Shaping
This is your last chance to purchase Ms. Zainabu's collection of short stories and poems:
The Corners of My Shaping (Penmanship Books).
You can find her book in the books section. Buy your copy before it's too late!
Excerpt from book:
There is no place to begin to tell your story, only a place you choose to start. Because
later you find places to begin before that moment and you try to go back. And then it
happens again. There are places even before that. I am thankful for those places. Those
before and before places that allow me the reasons I need to justify my procrastination.
Too many reasons to hold on to stories. But they are lies. Every voice in my head that
tells me I am not good enough. Every whisper that shouts and threatens to tell the world
(what the world already knows) that I am a human being. Perfect in all of my
imperfections. Beautiful in my ugly. - June 9, 2009 18:05pm

Indelible Publishing: What's New
So, May has been a busy month for us. Our last update gave you a list of shows to check out (thanks to those of you who made it out!). For the 2nd half of May, we have fewer shows, however we do have some announcements (two of which are overdue). The first is to congratulate AMP|Indelible co-Editor-in-Chief, Howard Treadwell, on his graduation from SUNY Stony Brook, where he earned his B.A. in Linguistics.
The second is to acquaint you with some new names and faces on our roster. Let's start with the ones that are overdue. We would like to announce that Macario James is now our in-house graphic designer. Mac is a Hofstra University alumnus, a distinguished member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. (shout out to his frat, our Chief Financial Officer, Steven Mark Haywood II), and the genius behind SoSoon's My Enviornment // Blowing Money artwork. He actually just finished the interior design work for Howard Treadwell's debut book, Dreams of Loisaida. Former Buffalo National Poetry Slam team member and NYC poetry scene whirlwind Knickie D also joined our ranks last month. Welcome abord to both of them, and we apologize for being a little late with bringing that news to the front page (although their artist pages were up pretty fast).
Jorge BritoStraight, No Chaser Films producer Charneice Fox joined Indelible in early May, and we are proud to announce her as one of our latest additions. Charneice brings a wealth of experience as both a poet and film producer to the team, and we look forward to her upcoming book projects. Also joining Indelible is 2009 Urban Word team member Jorge Brito. Jorge qualified for the UDUB team that will travel to Chicago in July for Brave New Voices, the Youth Speaks sponsored national youth poetry slam that earned an HBO series of the same name. Jorge is the third artist from Urban Word to join Indelible, with Ernest Estime and Aliyah preceding him.
Charneice FoxToday, Howard & Timothy have a feature set (and Aliyah will be there as well... do we smell a collaboration?) at The Inspired Word Reading Series, held at Tierra Sana Restaurant, $7pm. They will be performing alongside poetry heavyweights Caitlin Meissner, John Survivor Blake, Bonafide Rojas, and Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai. SoSoon has a 20 minute feature set at the Bowery Poetry Club on Tuesday, May 26th at 11:30pm. He will be performing material from his upcoming EP! June will be a very busy month, between Howard touring Virginia and Florida, SoSoon's ever expanding show schedule, several artists being booked at a film fundraiser, and Nigel Greaves making his way into the DC slam finals. And of course, that is just the tip of the iceberg.
