MOI CONSTANTLY WELCOMES TOI

A poetics of welcome. That's Moi. Hence, THE LIGHT SANG AS IT LEFT YOUR EYES will feature my byline as its author. But incorporated into its pages will be the poetry of other artists such as

Ernesto Priego (see prior post)
Rebeka Lembo
Nick Carbo
Cody McCafferty
Jean Vengua
Paolo Manalo

as well as collaborations with Nick Carbo, David Baptiste-Chirot, Karri Kokko -- among others.

I am among Others. When I say my poetic "I" transcends me, it also means a single-author poetry collection that bears my name as Author might as well overtly involve others.

My book features other authors but it is not an anthology. My book features other authors because it is, indeed, my book.
