If Elvis Presley is the King, then is James Brown God?
-Amiri Baraka
>Born Everett LeRoi Jones, formerly known as LeRoi Jones and Imamu Amear Baraka, was an African-American writer of poetry, drama, fiction, essays and music criticism.Thanks to my friend Craig Schiffert, In the late 1980s, I was able to meet him, shake his hand, and have my Amiri Baraka Reader signed by him
Most of my poetry is inspired by him. I'm really saddened by his loss.
