I Am Grateful to FATHER JOSH LICKTER and the ASSEMBLY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS for the nice article on their website about my new poem recital on behalf of JARNAIL KAUR & the suffering ADAVASI – FIRST NATION PEOPLE OF INDIA at the NYC POETRY FESTIVAL Thank You FATHER JOSHUA LICKTER for being the catalyst inspiration to my awareness for this poem.

My first performance video of this new poem is not only on the ASSEMBLY FOR HIMAN RIGHTS website, but also was emailed out to 14,000 supporters. I am very thankful that my humble poem, & first raw poetry recital of it, is being magnified on behalf of the Adavasi. i Praise GOD that in some small way I can help be a voice for those suffering, & that light is being shed on this horrible injustice. I pray that justice will prevail for Jarnail Kaur & the First Nation people of India, & Soon! <3

It was a Real Pleasure & Honor to have PERFORMED POETRY with the Stellar MATT PROCTOR & EASY PARADISE @easyparadisemag & The Talented ASHLEY D. ESCOBAR @quinoacowboys at this year’s NYC POETRY FESTIVAL 2024 at Governor’s Island, on SUNDAY, JULY 14TH at 1:30pm on the WHITE HORSE STAGE!!!

Before my set a young middle school poet/rapper that was in my Poetry Workshops in May/June came to the NYC POETRY FESTIVAL with his parent’s & brother had the opportunity to recite a short poem before I performed. His name is KABIR MATHUR @kabir_mathur248 , & he is a young INDIA AMERICAN POET that shows great promise! 🙂

As fate would have it directly following this I read a new poem I had written for the suffering INDIA Indigenous people ADAVASI for the first time publicly! A 100% Electricity moment for me! 🙂! Then i kicked in to my performance poetry set! Felt like in the moment punk jazz!

MATT PROCTOR is a fabulous surreal, stream-of-consciousness poet with a just the right dash of a Dadaist approach! Matt was the HOST of the WHITE HORSE STAGE, & is also the Host of the fantastic every Monday Mic, at the KGB BAR in The RED ROOM in NYC.
