ORANJESTAD – I have always said if my pieces do not touch anyone I won’t quit writing but I will stop publishing. That’s kind of a safe bet because there must be some soul wandering around with the same questions I try to find answers to through my poetry, right? But I never expected one of those souls to be a six year old.
ORANJESTAD — Showing off my island t our visitors is among my favorite things to do. It is extra special when National Geographic is the one in the passenger’s seat.
BROOKLYN, New York — Reflecting on the city, the neighborhoods, the people and the poetry of Brooklyn and Manhattan.
WILLEMSTAD — Same language, same poem, different orthography, slightly different meaning.
WILLEMSTAD — My second cover story, both are thanks to my lovely neighboring island of Curaçao.
