QLPOR Presents "Collective Voices" Now and Then - 25 Years Since London
in Poetry
The Washington, DC-based ensemble of poets known for its messages of inspiration, empowerment, and social consciousness has performed locally and abroad. Collective Voices' international debut was in London, England, in 1998. Founded in 1995, the group’s current members include Sylvia Dianne "Ladi Di" Beverly, Andre "Brenardo" Taylor, and the group’s founder, J. Joy "Sistah Joy" Matthews Alford, who was appointed as Poet Laureate of Prince George’s County, MD, in 2018. In addition to performing their original poetry, the group presents poetry workshops and coordinates arts-oriented activities throughout the Washington Metropolitan region. Of note, the group presented an annual arts-based tribute, Poetry Extravaganza, for 20 years, honoring the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The event was presented annually at the downtown Washington, DC-based Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library, which was attended by hundreds each year. Collective Voices has self-published 2 chapbooks, Poetry and Prose For A New Millennium (2000) and Experience, Expression, Expansion (1996), and its members have published 6 individual books of poetry. Collective Voices' poetry has also appeared in numerous anthologies. The group and individual members of the group have received numerous awards and recognitions for artistic excellence, community service, and literary activism, including the 2002 Poet Laureate Special Award from the DCCAH for "outstanding contributions to the art of poetry in Washington, DC." With its debut performance at a women's shelter, Collective Voices has continued its socially-relevant presentations at numerous churches, schools, galleries, youth and senior support facilities and organizations, and at various regional, national, and international conferences and conventions. To Book, contact Sistah Joy at P. O. Box 2073, Clinton, MD 20735, or Poetsistahjoy@aol.com.

Let's Talk Too! Michele Brantley & Lameek Gray

I'm your host
Author Sharnel
Guest
Michele Brantley and Lameek Gray
They are entrepreneurs and natives of Newark, NJ. After being friends for over 20 years, they co-wrote and published their first book together. Unicorn Love: A Collection of Erotic Short Stories & Poems is a book of erotic poetry and it entails the push and pull of man and woman, a tugging of emotions, and a war of words for grounds that may or may not exist in nature. Romance and seduction aren’t dead, they said. Poetry isn't dead, they said! Love isn’t dead, they said! The book itself is a mystery, with ambiguous terms, seemingly unfinished poems, and a love language that longs to be deciphered.

Welcome To The Couch With Children's Author Talona Coleman
in Books
Join Talona Coleman on Thursday, March 16, @ 6:00 PM to learn about Heaven Sent Child Care and the services that they offer. Talona is also a published author and we will be discussing her new book that teaches children about acceptance, I Am Important. The Dial-in number is 657-383-1206
I Am Important was written to empower, inspire, encourage, and to offer hope to children of all ages. It resonates with the message of the importance of acceptance of self as well as others. We each were created differently; which makes us unique and important! God has perfectly designed each of us with purpose and illuminates beauty and creativity within all. We are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:13-14). It is a reminder to all children that they can do anything, and become whoever they want to be (Philippians 4:13). This book teaches that as we learn to love ourselves, we can willingly express and show love, empathy, and compassion to others in spite of our differences. It also conveys that when we accept one another; we have made the choice to demonstrate love; and Jesus Christ is glorified! This is a vivid reminder that Jesus will always love us because he is the Creator of us and our diversity!

Garden of Enlightenment ... Luyu Wild Dove
in Poetry
"Poetry IS When an Emotion has Found its Thought and the Thought HAS Found Words"... Robert Frost Poetry has its own individual voice in each of us. It is the lyrics of our experiences that form and shed enlightenment in who we are. Each poem paints what is, what is missing and the desires that burn inside each of us that we crave. They are the door we open in our soul's closet taking out our hidden treasures, exposing them to the world. Trinkets, jewels of emotions of different textures, colors and strengths we place before you in poetry.
