Hello World!

Posted by Omowole Jesse Alexander on May 05, 2019 · 1 min read

Hello and welcome to my new blog site. Here are the reasons for my bringing this site into (re)exsistance:

  • I’m tired of the cray/cray stuff going on in social media.
  • I created it in Jekyll for the same reason that people climb Mount Everest–because it’s there and because I want better control over my content.
  • This site is the new home for scipoet and eyepoet stuff
  • I’m going to link back to my social media from here but this place will be the “single source of truth” for my content–meaning it will be published here first
  • I’m feeling my mortality (yeah, I know, I’m a little late..) and, like one of my mentors Ray Storey would say, I want to leave y’all pieces of my thought process so that I get to live forever
  • I’m tired of the “choice me” syndrome that operates in the poetry and corporate worlds. I want to see if there’s another way around the gate-keepers in the ivy-incrusted towers

By the way, if you look down at the bottom of the page and all the other pages, you will see that this material is “copy left”. Please contact me first if you want to collaborate or reuse any of this material.
