Today I received a package. Encased inside was a Allen Ginsberg toy  figurine and a signed copy of Howl. Through further inspection I  discovered a piece of parchment from the desk of Lyle Brooks, nephew of  Mr. Ginsberg.  This particular piece of paper was not written not on  computer but on a traditional, beautiful, man made type writer. Written  on this paper he expressed his wish of “great satisfaction” for me to  receive this package in which case I AM ELATED. Even as a write this my  hands tremble with a fervent anticipation to tell the world. He goes on  to describe the woman who first introduced me of it’s existence, Dawn  Allison. Through her witnessing my performance at the 2011 Tennessee  Williams Literary Festival Poetry Slam. I was privileged to pose with  this four inch sage of poetry. By simply speaking into the ear’s of the  listeners, by way of  poetry, I am now in my possession my very own  Allen Ginsberg figurine and signed documentation of how good I really  am. In closing he wishes me good luck on my journey “between the zeal of  the young and the patience of the old.”  I have a feeling this is just  the beginning..
