He discovered that he couldn't stop writing poetry because he recognized that it was a gift. Black Snow is a proud Mechanical Engineering graduate of Prairie View A&M University, successful business owner of The Oil Can and Snow Industries, and a proud member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
He is a Poetry Pioneer in the City of Houston. Black Snow has hosted the only weekly paying show in Houston for his fellow poets and has sponsored hundreds of Open-Mic Poetry shows and Specialty Spoken Word Events throughout the Houston area. I'm grateful for the opportunity to tell my story through my book of poems "The Big Fish". These poems were written over a period of time and reflect many different aspects of my maturation as a poet. I have written many poems that I did not deem worthy of saving from the dark abyss of my shoe boxes and closets. This particular collection of poems has survived to be included as part of the testament of the infamous poet known as BLACKSNOW.
I was inspired to write poems and short stories by my third-grade teacher Ms. Milton, thanks for believing in me. I'm an unlikely author simply because for the longest time, I would not embrace my gift. I would write poems and short stories when I was affected by certain circumstances and emotions such as happiness, joy, anger, sadness, etc…… often times to never read or share with anyone. I would collect the ones that I considered good and save them in shoe boxes in my closet. On a Sunday morning many years ago after listening to a sermon about a man who buried his gift, I vowed that I would share my poetry and story with the world. I asked that you consider the prospective of the writer understand that I write for those who don't typically read books but would gladly listen to the lyrics of a song. Many of my poems have been put to original music and I encourage you to go search out my Albums on all digital platforms! I hope that you find this book enjoyable and inspiring for years to come…… and as you read these few lines of wisdom and wit, remember that they have been known to lift one's spirits just a bit, so read them once or twice whichever you choose, but read them and you will find that you have nothing to lose BLACKSNOW!!
