Invisible Upsouth

For years I had been friends with Christopher Johnson on Facebook.  It wasn't until this past fall I actually had a chance to get together and speak with him in person.  I had checked out some of his performances on youtube that he had posted and I really enjoyed his poetry and spoken word.  "I … Continue reading Invisible Upsouth
