Rhyme – Wine – Join us

Rhyme Over Wine event is a monthly night of poetry by Rhyme N Chatt Interactive Poetry Club. It starts with an hour of open mic then a featured poet. This month it is me!

I will do a few pieces on social issues and then some on broken hearted search for love, and end with some new love poetry.

The Divine Poetess

The Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga TN hosts Vision and Verse, a periodic show that brings in guest poets to reflect upon visual art then write poetry and present it in a performance. I was honored to provide background harmonica for the Divine Poetess on her poem, Segregate. She requested that I do an instrumental version of Strange Fruit (Abel Meeropol 1937) Nina Simone’s version. Dine did 3 poems with other artists including dance by Jenn McCormick, drums by Kofi Mawuko, bass by Dexter Bell. June 2023
