Vann. I'm currently working on a second edition of The American Poet Who Went Home Again. My other titles include the novel Christmas When Music Almost Killed the World. My novel is a book that I also hope to publish as a graphic novel. I've also had the honor of serving as an editor for the Civil War Savannah Book Series published in commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the American Civil War. The first title in the series is Savannah Immortal City published February 1, 2011.

I don't recall a time since adolescence when I have not been involved in a deep relationship with writing, reading, and other forms of creative expression, which is why I'm so deeply involved with Creative Thinkers International at http://www.creativethinkersintl.ning.... .

In addition to having also happily joined Goodreads, I am presently a member of the Authors Guild, Inc., the American Academy of Poets, and Amazon Connect Authors, among other verb-oriented communities.

Prior to joining any of the above, I was born in Savannah, Georgia, eventually left to attend colleges around the country, served in the U.S. Air Force for 8 years total, and did what I could as a caregiver on my Mom's behalf for about a decade.

I lucked out and got so furiously inspired in the course of producing some of my work that folks were kind enough to give me awards for it. These include the CONNECT SAVANNAH 2006 Readers Poll for Best Poet and Spoken Word Artist; the Choice Academic Title Award for "Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance," (co-authored by Sandra L. West); the Thomas Jefferson Journalism Award; and the Freedom Foundation essay competition bronze medal.

The year 2007 marked my 10th publishing works in ESSENCE Magazine.

I'm particularly happy about the fact that my "Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance" was listed by Black Issues Book Review as one of its “essential reference books for the home library.” I'm presently working on edits for a book of creative nonfiction called "The American Poet Who Went Home Again."

Quotes from Visions of a Skylark D...

“What a lover’s heart knows let no man’s brain dispute.” — 86 people liked it

“If I say your voice is an amber waterfall in which I yearn to burn each day, if you eat my mouth like a mystical rose with powers of healing and damnation, If I confess that your body is the only civilization I long to experience… would it mean that we are close to knowing something about love?” — 54 people liked it
