Dear Readers,

Today makes it two years that I started blackcoffeepoet.com!  

I created this site to show that poetry has many voices, and a lot of those voices are ignored and drowned out: Aboriginal, of Colour, Queer, Women, Jailed and more.

My site is also my study as a young poet.  I read, review, interview, and learn by doing.

Politics are a big part of blackcoffeepoet.com and will continue to be a big part.  Many projects that I have envisioned have not come to life and this year I plan on bringing them to you.

Thanks to all of your for your support!  It has helped, and I need it.  

You got me for one more year, maybe more.  I hope you enjoy what is to come.  If you have any ideas or want to collaborate with me contact me at blackcoffeepoet@gmail.com.

Listen to 89.5 FM tonight at 10pm for an interview with me on HOWL radio with Nik Beat.  Or you can check 89.5 FM internet at www.ciut.fm. Rogers cable Tv channel 946! Star satellite channel 826.

Peace,

Jorge Antonio Vallejos
