1 Poetry, Prose & Condz Vol, 2.

I interviewed Piankhi at the official release of the Write Or Die Zine Project issue #6,
known as "Petry, Prose & Conz".

During the interview, I asked Piankhi if He wanted to put out a vol,2 of PP&C,
what would he do different, He said it would be all poetry, and has said for
a while that he also wanted to drop an all handwritten issue.

So y'all know me, my brain kicked into autopilot mode, and I set out to achieve
Piankhis version of a PP&C vol,2 issue, yeah, even before th interview was over,
I had already mapped out the who, where and how vol,2 would look.

Piankhi, being locked into a new study and forthcoming project that will shock most
of our readership, commissioned me full control over vol,2 of PP&C as I was
visually already in go mode, infact, He didn't even want to see the work until
it was ready for publishing. I know this was coming because WODZP issues 4,
5, & 6 felt more like instruction courses and, "now let me see what you can do". I've
been allowed more creative freedom with each issue, perhaps a little too much
because PP&C is a monster, born from me being pushed forward into full
production work by Piankhi.

(Superdone)
Since the reinstatement of the Poetry Group, I set out to use every resource possible
within the group to take the work load edge off of Piankhis regular volunteer base
that worked wall to wall to make WODZP issues what they are today.
To my surprise, Piankhi had already downloaded The Work from a Florida Deathrow Inmate
that I was licking my chops to feature in Vol,2. In fact, it was the work of
that inmate that became my inspiration to make vol,2 a full page, Bold image
issue of all visuals, art and Photos. I've recently handed Piankhi vol,2, super done.
This is our live poetry slam on Paper, with the many different Handwriting styles
of each poet taking center stage. I was finally free to travel back into the
1990's and allow 2016-17 to enjoy the organic energy, on paper. If nothing else,
I had to at least achieve this goal with this issue, and with a little selfishness on
my side, it was on! :) Enjoy your reading.

Im someone who knew u before, from Umatilla, met u at the Amoco, if that tells u how long ago. Im someone who thought u were always a good person. I still struggle with what u did and who u really were. I wonder if you were always sick and I just didnt see it. I can never think of u the same and that hurts alot. U talk about yourself alot on here and how its not fair that u have to do so much time. Where is your remorse for the poor victim or victims of yours? I am glad u got a harsh sentence, I feel it is some justice for what u have done. As for your codefendant, I dont know what to say, maybe its karma for you, hanging out with sex offenders and being one yourself. What happened to you Rhonda? I will never understand this, never.

Beautiful tribute to your mom Bobby and blogging can be a healing process for you. you have been a part of my life since you were around two years old and I seemed to be the only calming effect on you in church. years later I had another young person who used to kick me but eventually would come and sit with me. Many hugs and blessings-aunt Kay

Dear Tim,
I hope this finds you well and in good spirits. It saddens me to read the last comment in regards to Bryce's upcoming parole hearing. Please tell Bryce I will be in contact.There are many of us that believe in his rehabilitation and support him.
Thank you...
Ms. B

Im not about telling people what thay need to do, so like I said before, Im
like, if people are already entrigued enough to go to betweenthebars.org,
or have one of our prisoner zines fall into their lap, then we offer an unique
perspective from where I am, and Im not saying to go pick up a bible,
or join some religion, but we are saying within our projects to become
more aware of ones self.

(#NGR):

#NGR is youth oriented, and we plan to engage our own, put these
conversations and online ciphers into zine form and share the open dialogue
with as many people as I possibly can, especially in prisons, Jails, and
Juvenile Detention Centers because in order for a New Generation to rise in this
moment, we must rise as one.

# NGR, New Generation Rising

XZ Im so there, let me go strike this up, man I could
sure go for some Taco Bell right now, well, if them other lil Niggaz nextdoor
aint burnt it down already, we cant walk too much further in the streets
of America without being killed by cops, we need more than just guns now,
and play mode on pause?

P For now, hell yeah.
