While tending bar at one of Atlanta's distinguished eateries, the author set down his notebook. A guest, enjoying dinner and wine, picked up the book and laboriously thumbed through the dog-eared pages. She finished the entirety of the notebook in one setting. The author was amazed and inspired. If one sitting at the bar; among the chatter and clamor, could enjoy these poems, then anyone could. Soon thereafter, Poems For A Barfly was born.These poems call upon a vast array of inspirations: the Black condition, the eternal questions of love and the transitory nature of life. It is a collection of snapshots; the artists' goal is to capture a moment, and all its beautiful ugliness, with hopes that something universal can be found. Herein lies a collection of poems spanning multiple decades, lifetimes and realities.

Ahmariah Jackson is a high school ELA educator who focuses on incorporating Hip Hop pedagogy into classroom activities and literary analysis. His alter-ego: ANON The Griot is the poet. The self-proclaimed Picasso of the Pen weaves narratives and social commentary with a literary wit. Though poetry is his current forte, freestyle gave him his voice. He adeptly moves from emcee to poet at moment's notice because they are both a part of him. While he vividly recalls being in a cypher with Common in college, he is most pleased at freestyling alongside Stevie Wonder at Phillips Arena. You can also stream/purchase his album "A Beautiful Headache" at www. anonthegriot.bandcamp.com or on most digital platforms (yes, even Apple Music) under the name ANON The Griot.
