Living to see another day means nothing if you did not learn to avoid yesterdays mistakes. Crow
The Search for Substance questions the direction of our lives and our motivations. We find that our challenges and opportunities to inspire and to be inspired are limited based on our skewed view of the world. For these reasons, we are on an endless journey in which faith, failure, and incite detour or determine the impact of our presence. The ability to define and catalogue our experiences may grant us enough space to live in our success and build a bridge from who we are to who we want to be. Our flaws create our character and since real life comes with no scripts, the ability to improvise helps us to survive. The moment we identify what we consider substance, then the when, how and why we search will forever provide us with answers.
It is true that we often create goals based on the things we want to possess in life. Somehow during this process, we find purpose and the adventure solidifies the amount of time we have invested in our own growth. This discovery of who we are and who we can become remains priceless and the true value of failing is found in how we respond. These poems examine how we respond.
Over de auteur
This Brooklyn, New York native serves as a mirror to the people, places and challenges found in neighborhoods where poverty, a poor educational system, and limited opportunities run wild. With an unsure future, Crow fell in love with music and his penmanship eventually followed.
In 2002, Crow became one of co-founders and orginal members of the poetry troupe “Machismo Redefined”, showcasing his voice and theatrical talents while performing at multiple poetry venues including the world-famous Nuyorican Poets Café. In addition, he wrote, published and distributed his first poetry book and soundtrack entitled “Blank Pages”. In 2003, Crow was featured on ESPN during the NBA 2002-2003 All-Star game. After taking a few years off to focus on being a first time father, Crow would eventually return in 2008 with another poetry book and soundtrack called ‘Windows to my Past’, and then a year later with ‘Sinning on my way to Church’.
While fostering relationships and continuing to perform throughout the country, he presents his most anticpated and thought provoking poetry book to date ‘The Search for Substance’.
