In addition, to the incomparable works of these Harlem poets, in times of heartbreak and pain the written word has both consoled me and served as an inspiration. My greatest friends have indeed been my pencil and paper. I thank them tremendously for always having my back even when so called friends and lovers didn't. All of the anguish that I have encountered throughout my life has definitely set the stage for my writings. Additionally, taking a literature class in college also opened my world to the power of poetry and creative writing.
