NADIR:

THE EULOGY OF CARWELL MORTON

Inspired by the Alice Childress novel (and subsequent movie) A Hero Ain’t Nothin’ but a Sandwich (Hero), Nadir uses prose and verse to loosely chronicle Black people’s tenuous relationship with the United States. From being stripped of our identities and having unhealthy false identities supplanted in our collective subconscious, to fighting back against our arrested development, to wrestling away the mental, physical, and spiritual wealth of Black folk, to a hopeful recovery, we aim to thrive where surviving was once our norm. The Eulogy of Carwell Martin was chosen as the subtitle, because the death of Mrs. Childress’ fictional Carwell was arguably the nadir of Hero. And as Black men we honor “Carwell.” We honor the Carwells who have left us and those who are still here. Nadir is written from that lens.

Me, My Shadow, and The Artificial Light Source

He made himself responsible for the unborn. A light patterned tapestry lancing the sleek black contour of the ‘67 Mustang, but the passengers didn't notice the chimed toned infant cry passing through the spoked rims of the Mobutu manufactured tires. In a Johnson and Johnson year, Leslie Uggams whispered to him on a jet, “Hallelujah Baby!” The scent of a government issued trash heap
wafts through the air, and miles above this tawny colored pearl, a sickle and
hammer sifts dust on a Venusian surface.

Thoughts of a Ghetto Scatterbrain

The EP inspired by frustration

Each piece was inspired by actual experiences that exposed “urban” schools as the great hills that they are, while Stewart played Sisyphus. But, his self-aggrandizing was simply attempting to remedy the ills of his schools. Scatterbrain begins with January 1; all of America’s Blacks leave the country in search of a new life on another star. It ends with She Love Me, She Loves Me Not; Education framed in terms of an interracial love story. And like any EP, “interludes” hold each piece together at the seams.
