GRASSROOTS

"I call myself an activist," says Datcher. "I'm trying to activate change when I go out into the world. But I tell the brothas, the best kind of activism you can do now is meet someone and fall in love and start a family. Now that's grass roots. 'Find you a woman and be good for her.' That the most grass roots activism you can do."
....... Michael Datcher, journalist, poet, co-organizer of World Stage Anansi Writers Workshop and author of Raising Fences: A Black Man's Love Story (Riverhead Books).


And finally, a sample of my work posted on the My Work section. Just an excerpt, not the full monty. Too many pirates out here. The full monty forthcoming in my chapbook.
