Vernon J Davis Jr., Author
CATEGORY: BOOKS TAG: POETRY
Vernon J. Davis jr. has been writing poetry since the early seventies. He was first inspired by Langston Hughes''s poem "Impasse", which started his journey and adventure into the world of poetry and the spoken word. Vernon''s very first published poem,"Beautiful Black Woman"(the basis for this book) came out in 1978 in a magazine called Black Forum. More poetry followed in other magazines like SoulWord and Dawn, a magazine supplement to the Los Angeles Sentinel, an African-American newspaper.
"LOVE IS THE BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN" is a tribute to all Black Women. It is my praise and trophy to the strong independent women of color that I''ve met and yet to meet. The good, the bad , the indifferent. I hope my poems reflects and mirrors all the variety of women I admire and gain strength from.
