https://writeoutloudboston.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/the-fable-of-the-fly-joyce-angela-jellison

Write Out Loud – Stories from the Frontline. April 21, 2009. The Fable of the Fly – Joyce Angela Jellison. 8212; writeoutloudboston @ 7:38 pm. Your secrets are buried in shit. So says the fly on the wall. This small but authoritative creature. In a whisper dry and. Barely audible to the human ear. But still he is heard. Breaking the tepid air and stale calm with his razor thin wings. At once prick and soothe my calloused skin. Leaving it moist even dewey. Now the heat is more attracted to me and. Urban p...

Write Out Loud – Stories from the Frontline. April 14, 2009. Niggers aint candied sweets by Joyce Angela Jellison. 8212; writeoutloudboston @ 4:22 pm. Tags: Boston Poetry Slam. I got to tell you. I have a problem. With white folks and black folks with historical/cultural amnesia. In their paper thin, razor sharp mouths. My ears bleed resistance. And my black skin feels like a wet blanket. Laying crushed on the side of the road. Blossoming in red dirt becoming invisible. To be left on his grave. You are c...

https://writeoutloudboston.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/sacred-space-or-seperatism-a-response-to-a-generic-letter-from-the-editor-of-lola-magazine

Write Out Loud – Stories from the Frontline. April 16, 2009. Sacred Space or Seperatism – a response to a generic letter from the Editor of Lola Magazine. 8212; writeoutloudboston @ 5:56 pm. Story idea – how about an essay? Sacred Space or Seperatism?

Should these spaces be constructed or deconstructed?

Write Out Loud – Stories from the Frontline. April 28, 2009. The Business of Work Versus The Work of Change a teacher’s confession. 8212; writeoutloudboston @ 3:14 pm. Yesterday I cried and almost said fuck it – I am not teaching another class to another group of women who have nothing and seem to want nothing. I almost said they are what society says they are – bitches, ho’s and baby momma’s selling raffle tickets for their children’s fathers DNA. Who are we really? I sat in my car and my heart sunk to ...

Write Out Loud – Stories from the Frontline. May 6, 2009. I was the first Child of Hip Hop – Joyce Angela Jellison. 8212; writeoutloudboston @ 4:14 pm. I was the first. On city corners and. I was the first. Conceived in a million brownstone basements and row home bedrooms. I was the first. Birthed on black and white composition pages with a #2 lead pencil. And she told my father. Who told his brothers, now my uncles, now my fathers, now my aunts, now my mothers. I belonged to everyone. I was the first and.

Leg to foot to pavement – by Joyce Angela Jellison | Write Out Loud - Stories from the Frontline

https://writeoutloudboston.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/leg-to-foot-to-pavement-by-joyce-angela-jellison

Write Out Loud – Stories from the Frontline. April 20, 2009. Leg to foot to pavement – by Joyce Angela Jellison. 8212; writeoutloudboston @ 9:34 pm. The push of wind.

With distance wearing the soles of your shoes to mere strips of rubber bound. By a priveleged determination – a determination that allows room for failure if it should occur. It is this fear.
