CHERYL BOYCE TAYLOR in LAMBDA BOOK REPORT THIS MONTH

This just in: This month's Lambda Book Report features a profile on the marvelous Cheryl Boyce Taylor (yes, that is she!) I penned the piece a few months ago, and I enjoyed every minute of getting to know this magic, chocolate lady!

Trinidad-born and Queens-bred, Cheryl Boyce Taylor is a poet and teaching artist. She is the author of two collections of poetry. Raw Air and Night When Moon Follows. Her work has been featured in various publications, including Def Poetry Jam's Bum Rush The Page, Poetry Nation, Rogue's Scholar, and Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Café. Her text Water was commissioned for Ronald K. Brown/Evidence Dance Company by Jacob's Pillow, with additional funding from The National Endowment for the Arts. Cheryl represented NYC on the 1994 National Slam team and currently makes her living teaching poetry.

She's the best. Read her stuff, you'll see.
