Black Fluid Poet
By John S. Blake
Some will make laugh. Others may help you cry. All of them are sincere. With a voice known to bring a feeling of safety, BFP is everything human and always an open heart: their poems, confessions, books they love, stories of race, gender, family, addiction and sobriety, watershed moments, reflections on how they got here, they share their entire world with you.
