I should be working, but how can I with #CherylBoyceTaylor's Arrival sitting on the table next to me? #bnplit #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #poetry

I got the opportunity to capture poet Cheryl Boyce-Taylor at the bar lounge Ode To Babel, in Brooklyn, where she was featured, celebrating her 4th upcoming book, "ARRIVAL" a poetic love story between mother and daughter. Hosted by Jive Poetic, with guest poets, Falu, Jon Saunders, Adam Falkner and more, the evening vibe was intimate, warm, loving, emotional, energetic and freeing. Cheryl Boyce-Taylor new poetry book, ARRIVAL will be out June 15th, 2017. Pre-orders are available on Amazon.com "ARRIVAL is a poetic love story between mother and daughter. The poems are road maps, intertwining generations with a narrative beginning in 1950 with a woman who is pregnant with twins. In her seventh month she delivers a stillborn boy and a baby girl weighing less than two pounds. From there, the evocation of a series of catastrophic family events brings forth Cheryl Boyce-Taylor’s power to strip her readers down to their most vulnerable. Boyce-Taylor is steeped in the narratives of Trinidad and New York City, colored with metaphorical stew-pot images. She revels in her lyrical range as she weaves these poetic retellings of family, place, and identity." I cant wait! #poetry #cherylboycetaylor #brooklyn #poets
