From: “Sue King-Smith.” [asphodel@iaccess.com.au] Hi Bryan, Thanks for the publishing the poems and making the page look so good - I’m delighted with the presentation. Thanks for the speel too - you’re pretty accurate in terms of the comments about style, the pieces were concieved as page and performance pieces ... they go down quite well over here in the pubs and nightclubs. Best wishes, will keep watching the Kintespace for poets and commentary.

To: rasx@kintespace.com Date: Mon, 17 Aug 1998 12:17:42 Hey, cool stuff on kinte space these days. I started listening to Chideya’s interview at work. Glad you’ve linked to that. I intend to find a way to get my computer-literate students to listen to that and/or have them read her book (I’ve already read it).

It also led to a major career change from a professional writer at one corporation to professional computer programming in another—that took even more time away from publishing poetry. I feel that now most of that journey is over but there were some heavy casualties along the way. Losing track of StreetWrites’ poetry was one (of many) of those casualties. But as a result, being published in Kinte Space came like a pleasant surprise out of nowhere. And it sounds like we were part of the stimulus that led to a lot of development on your part—it’s interesting, isn’t it? I’ve learned a lot from the beginning, when I started the first StreetWrites website using a white-on-black text terminal, to now when I work with a scanner and Photoshop and MIDIs and frames—still trying to keep the basic writing accessible to everyone. If I could find everything I lost in files in 1996—or at other times — maybe I could feel morally superior to you, but I can’t. I’m just tickled pink that you’re adding another creative outlet to the Web. Congratulations on all your hard work.

Date: Fri, 29 May 1998 09:47:04 -0700 (PDT) Peace, I am one of the brothers with ‘no game’. We represent a small but very unique population. I often find myself eating flesh that is empty, then finding myself wondering why am I ‘lowering my standards’ for empty flesh. (Leaving the women like ghost) It is not self esteem that causes me not to approach women it is what I want to say that usually comes off as too deep or he is so sweet mentality. It is hard to find someone to vibe with in this desolate spiritual planet or it may be the state I am living in...i.e. KY TN. But while I were in undergrad, I was surrounded by different cultures and people form every socioeconomic background and still found that brothers that talked that talk had the women though their lines where in my opinion were pathetic... and full of senseless lies... But women seem to fall for that... And when someone finds interest in me... they ask are you spiritual...and I say yes...but they mean bible holder... and scripture Abider.... I am more Khemetic in spirit... I am more ancestral in my being... And that is a turn off to many women I have encountered... I have many things to accomplish in this life with the aid of my ancestors, but it would be nice to have a women of spirit and intellectual sense to know that I am the concrete image in the window of the Creator. Thanks for listening and publishing 0.5 the sistas Vincent T. James Kentucky
Subject: Thank You I hope this e-mail is reaching you in the best of health and spirits. Thank you for providing our community with this much-needed information. This is a beautiful site. Also, I just left a site that you should visit:
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 14:16:51 Dear Bryan, Thank you very much for notifying me of your new Nijinsky site. I think it is superb, moving and wanted to write to congratulate you for your poetic vision and originality. I will add a link to our Stowitts Museum favorite links site as soon as our webmaster returns. If you haven’t visited The Stowitts Museum & Library site in awhile you may want to take a look at www.stowitts.org for we continue to add exhibitions, including our Nijinsky Dancing show. Recently I curated a special online exhibition called The Legacy of Stowitts for Queer Arts Resource which you can visit at www.qar.org. I am moderating a Stowitts Discussion Group at the QAR site and would welcome a comment or question from you which will also give me the opportunity to post the address of your Nijinsky address. I also invite you to send me your mailing address so I can add your name to our museum mailing list to keep you informed on our activities. Certainly we would welcome the opportunity to meet you should you find yourself anywhere near our central California coast. The Stowitts Museum is located in Pacific Grove on the Monterey Peninsula. Thanking you again for remembering me and with every good wish for your continued contributions to art, I remain, Sincerely yours, Anne Holliday, Curator

DIRECT RESPONSE PARAGRAPH: Bryan, Greetings! I will take this opportunity to praise your on your web site. Your use of the technology is slammin. I can see that you are sitting on the LEADING edge. I would love to collaborate with you someday when we both have time and interest. I am maintaining a web site which I would like to turn into a multimedia event someday: http://www.ulbobo.com/umoja Perhaps you’d like to be a guest architect and javasize one of the poems. Please consider it. The reason that I am writing is because you mentioned “Wend Kuuni” and Burkina Faso. I saw the sequel to “Wend Kuuni”, “Buud Yam”. It won the Stallion award at FESPACO in 1997. I’ve got a FESPACO web site: http://www.ulbobo.com/cinema/97report forward! love, prema

Date: Sat, 10 Jan 1998 09:43:08 -0800 (PST) O Kinte Space... I hope you don’t object to me telling you about my new website: it’s called ‘The boy was in the hallway’ and is a collection of poems inspired by pop/rock music (it’s not as terrible as it sounds). My intention is to write 300 pieces - I’m about halfway there. It also includes a feature where readers can submit their own poems. Please come and have a look, give it a mention if it seems at all interesting. http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Museum/1001/index.html Thanks for reading this far! Graham T.
