We’re taking a moment to recognize Kansas City’s wordsmiths.
Taken from KCPT’s “Arts Upload,” which has amassed an impressive collection of local poets reading their own works, “Spotlight” gives Flatland a chance to catch up with the artists. We find out what they’re up to and get their take on what to watch in the local and national art scene.

I currently live in Kansas City, MO
My current project is the September release of my first book, “Screaming Times”. I’m busy promoting the book and doing readings.
My best moment from this week was watching my daughter in her first Lyra performance. I was completely moved and inspired.
I am reading Claudia Rankine’s, “Citizen,” listening to Jill Scott and The Internet, as well as a webinar of African American poets.
To maintain an organized home office and to get my French doors installed so I don’t disturb my family with my night owl writing hours.
