  • Quintessential Listening: Poetry Online Radio Presents Kianga Dauphin
    I began writing as a way to express intense emotions. I tend to write more when I have negative emotions. At first, the only people I shared my poetry with were my therapist and my mom. I actually did not even know I was writing poetry. I was just putting down on paper how I felt. I took a creative writing poetry class in the fall of 2020 to learn how to improve my abilities. Through that class, I was able to learn about different styles of poetry and practice them. The class helped me to find my voice. My mother use to read poetry to me as a child from great poets such as Langston Hughes, Sterling Brown and Lucile Clifton amongst others. She has supported my writing throughout my life.

  • QL: POR Proudly Presents A JUNETEENTH Open Mic Poetry Reading
    Juneteenth or Emancipation Day is a holiday commemorating the release of those held in bondage during slavery. It started in Galveston, Texas, and is now celebrated every year on June 19 across the United States. Noted poets Brian Donnell James and Jackie Oldham will co-host the event. 
    A found poem by Dr. Michael Anthony Ingram, (2021)
    In 1941, Laura Smalley, a former slave in Texas, told a WPA worker about the day she heard of her freedom.
    “I remember. 
    We all got up that morning 
    and went to the big house to see ole’ master. 
    I thought ole’ master was dead, 
    I didn’t know he had gone to war, 
    He was back. 
    All the slaves gathered around to see ole’ master.
    He didn’t tell us we were free. 
    He worked us for six more months and 
    turned us loose on the 19th of June. 
    That is why we colored folks celebrate that day,                                                                                                                       
    celebrate that day, 
    celebrate that day, 
    celebrate that day.”
