I was so honored and blessed to have a beautiful time with friends, sheroes and mentors in NYC last weekend for a Harlem Arts Salon. We celebrated America's First Lady of Literature #TerryMcMillan, and her ninth novel #IAlmostForgotAboutYou as well as my third novel #SolemnBook. Thank you so much to the moderator Hakim Hassan, and all the readers and fans and literary enthusiasts who made this event so memorable for me, a highlight of my career. Signing books, eating good food, drinking nice wine- my dream life!
Visit www.HarlemArtsSalon.com to find out more about how you can enjoy intimate gatherings like these with today's hottest artists at the home of Margaret Porter and Quincy Troupe. Your contributions and visits benefit The Gloster Project, a non-profit dedicated to bringing arts programming and summer camps to children of Gloster, Mississippi.

Inside it's own mysteries The poetry circles back and forth Shifting questions like chess moves Flight - take flight - all we are saying All we are praying! Repeating soliloquies - crammed mantras and pep talks Blank canvass without clues - but far from bullshit or hesitation. As we soloed to bloom into flowers of our syncopated magic; Shining maybe ; High away above imitations - limitations. Imaginations flying somewhere Where the eyes see the clouds as shoes Strength ; grace ; Black and White colours Showing no hesitation at all. Watch us lift off. Since you've watched us whipped. #DailyAesthetics #MonochromeLagos #MonochromeLagosDigitalPhotobook #QuincyTroupe

“Snow & Ice” by Quincy Troupe
ice sheets sweep this slick mirrored dark place space as keys that turn in tight, trigger pain of situations where we move ever so slowly so gently into time — traced agony the bright turning of imagination so slowly grooved through revolving doors, opening up to enter mountains where spirits walk voices, ever so slowly swept by cold, breathing fire as these elliptical moments of illusion link fragile loves sunk deep in snows as footprints the voice prints cold black gesticulations bone bare voices chewed skeletal choices in fangs of piranha gales spewing out slivers of raucous laughter glinting bright as hard polished silver nails
Poem:Â http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/quincy_troupe/poems/22440
Image: “Le Touquet” by Henry Ossawa Tanner (American, 1859-1937) c.1910, Oil on canvas.

Toni Morrison, flanked by Quincy Troupe & and Stanley Diamond’s shoulder, at a benefit for Chinua Achebe, who’d just relocated to the US after a debilitating car accident in Lagos.   Other participants included Bill Moyers, Jayne Cortez, Amiri Baraka, Allen himself, along with Quincy Troupe, and Stanley Diamond.  Philadelphia Museum of Art, October 28, 1990 (photo snapped by Allen, courtesy Stanford University Libraries / Allen Ginsberg Estate)
Toni Morrison was born on this day in 1931 in Lorraine, Ohio, a steel-belt town along the shores of lake Erie. She would have been 90. Happy Birthday Toni! You are greatly missed!  Â

What's cool is actually I had 3 pieces exhibited at #PaulFisherGallery last night. This one has been there since Paul took it to exhibit at the LAArt Show earlier this year. It's a small version of "Luv Notes: The Blues" the bigger original is in th private #artcollection of #QuincyTroupe #MargotTroupe. The original i created while listening to #MilesDavis #KindOfBlue, if you know the Quincy x Miles connection you then know why I love this piece etc.. I saw a couple people looking and talking about it. I wanted to tell them the story but was like nah I'm a just chill. #art #ArtLife #artist
