henry 7. reneau, jr. writes words of conflagration to awaken the world ablaze, an inferno of free verse illuminated by his affinity for disobedience, like a discharged bullet that commits a felony every day, is the spontaneous combustion that blazes from his heart, phoenix-fluxed red & gold, exploding through change is gonna come to implement the fire next time. He is the author of the poetry collection, freedomland blues (Transcendent Zero Press) and the e-chapbook, physiography of the fittest (Kind of a Hurricane Press), now available from their respective publishers. As a Black poet, he writes to un-marginalize the stigmatized spaces of Amerikkkan society. He writes to erect an inclusive house on the smoldering ruins of racism’s plantation, a safe space of wolf howl gumbo ya-ya for those who are woke to the real.
