In the summer of 2019 this year, I had the extraordinary honor of being the only person alongside William Shakespeare, to have had a poem used in the construction of a play which was to be performed at the National Theatre of London and New York.
The Production of the event was sponsored by The Polonsky Foundation.
The play was entitled “Faith, Hope & Charity” by Director Alexander Zeldin and the title of my poem was Homeless.
I was told by Arts Manager Paula of Crisis that my poem came up against “stiff” competition and that it beat off multitudes of other poems, to become the poem of choice for the Nation Theatre and I had the privilege of meeting with the Associate Director Diyan Zora, who told me it was an honor to have met me and to have had the privilege of being able to use my poem for the play.
For a poet, words cannot describe this honor to both have been chosen by the National Theatre and to now be alongside the great William Shakespeare in the National Theatre archives.

From my earliest memories, I was always in love with art. Even at the age of 14 (if memory serves me right) when I was diagnosed as color-blind and promptly gave up any hope of art, my nature, created art, simply found other channels to express itself and whatever I found myself doing (whether cleaning toilets or setting chairs in my local church for years ect) it was done artistically to beauty until the present day, where I can now produce what you are witnessing today.
From I had the ability to be consciously aware, my life has been art and it is an honor to be able to bring forth that which is my first love, YHVH.
Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth and that which comet out of it, he that giveth breath unto the people upon it and spirit to them that walk therein [ Is.42:5 ]
