Failure
This collection of poems is titled, “Failure” because that is how people (even those who loved me) viewed me when I was younger. At any time during my first 30 years, it would have been hysterical to think I would earn two Masters Degrees with high honors and graduate second in my class for both programs – it would have been amusing to think I’d one day manage the busiest library in the state of Georgia – people would not have thought it possible for me to be a poet and release my collections of poems – and for people to enjoy them.
The expectation was I would be in prison or be dead at an early age – and I was okay with this – until one day I wasn’t okay with it – and I changed things.
“Failure” is for everyone who has heard this word said to them. “Failure” is for everyone who has used this word to refer to themselves.
This book is dedicated to everyone who has failed – and has (somehow) not given up.
