Wellington, Darryl Lorenzo

Poetry

Stalking Horse Press

"On and beyond the horizon, Wellington's excursions into our body politic, psyche, purpose, and existence are multilayered and multifaceted. Content and craft are given equal time and focus. There is a nuanced reacquaintance with poetry's significance in Psalms at the Present Time. This poet chooses sturdy ethos and empowering authenticity. It is a worthwhile expedition." 
-Uche Nduka, Author of Living in Public and Facing You\nAs a poet, playwright, performance artist, essayist and journalist, Darryl Lorenzo Wellington is a writer of many forms. But even his poetry presents a broad and multicultural aesthetic - spoken word, literary and verse forms, politics, and more. In Psalms at the Present Time, he is at his eclectic best.\n** 
Death yawns stately. 
Death conjoins us. 
- whether we make music 
noise, love, or bourgeoisie war. 
Free assembly and funeral 
rites, these days, symbiotic, interchangeable. 
Siren sounds. We will not disappear 
** 
we proceed like marionettes 
carried along on one string 
crowds of selfsame mouths 
our tongues chant now in unison 
the pitch like a cracked accordion 
then canticle is cant 
and cry.\n(from "Days of Protest")
