Black Snow is a veteran poet from Houston, TX that has been writing and reciting poetry since he was 8 years old. He discovered that he couldn't stop writing poetry because he recognized that it was a gift. Black Snow is a proud Mechanical Engineering graduate of Prairie View A&M University, successful business owner of The Oil Can and Snow Industries, and a proud member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
He is a Poetry Pioneer in the City of Houston. Black Snow has hosted the only weekly paying show in Houston for his fellow poets and has sponsored hundreds of Open-Mic Poetry shows and Specialty Spoken Word Events throughout the Houston area.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to tell my story through my book of poems “The Big Fish”. These poems were written over a period of time and reflect many different aspects of my maturation as a poet. I have written many poems that I did not deem worthy of saving from the dark abyss of my shoe-boxes and closets. This particular collection of poems has survived to be included as part of the testament of the infamous poet known as BLACKSNOW.
