Thank you again as a continued/new supporter of me, my work and this movement.
And that today brings you new, satisfying blessings ahead.

WHATS BEEN HAPPENING...

An new place for poets and promoters alike has been created by internationally known poet/author/musician Ainsley Burrows at poetryexchange.ning.com Where you can link up with other poets/promoters and end up booking a show for your self anywhere in the world. I've recently joined it. And for the first time anywhere have, for the most part, my entire artist resume along with an updated bio. (poetryexchange.ning.com/Honestabe)


Also, I decided recently to get a vimeo account (free one) which I'll most likely be uploading old and new vids as well as an alternate to/from my youtube account/channel. Here is the link below for future reference.

My amazon wish is still available for belated b-day gifts for you to get me. Just saying. lol.

And yes. I'm currently working out details and making arrangements to make it down to ATL, PHILLY, BALTIMORE, CA, TX, NC & SC as well as other areas included on the west coast, and further North and South east, within the next few weeks and months. (Trying to set up a tour heading into and by early next year at the latest)



Pass my events on to a friend in the area who can make it too.
Lemme know whats up. get back at me anytime.
Bring your positivity, inspirational presence and I'll bring the truth with me. ;o)


Peace, productivity & prosperity. Stay blessed & elevated. B-)


PS: And as for my album, which I'm aware that many are anxious to drop. Will be getting it in some more time in the studio real, real soon. So that I can be ready in time for l8r this Winter. With prod. by MC and producer Chris Phoenix. And Producer/singer-song writer Omni Blaze. Still touching base with the guest stars that will be on it. And believe me when I tell ya...we bout to make some magic happen on wax. Trust. Be ready for "Brooklyn's Lost Son" coming to venue, :) and a retailer near you. B-)


My book,(Unlocked thoughts of a Prophet's Temple) if you were unaware, will be "unlocked" soon. In parts anyway. I've decided due to $$ limitations currently, that I'll be releasing my 5 chapter chapbook, for now, with each chapter as separated books themselves. The first one slated to be ready by months end/early Dec. at the latest. And will be subtitled: "Humble Beginnings". If your also not aware what my book will be about, basically is, : a look into my trials and tribulations as a said, "Prophet/soothsayer" with affirmations, passages and poems to express them in a creative understanding form. Over almost the past 3 decades and mainly the past half decade of things I went through.

(Another important reminder) FYI: Here is some info via Brother named Eric Normil Mendez pass to me and ask to spread the word about.

"The NAACP Jamaica Branch Youth Council is hosting a Poetry Slam Event on Nov 13 2010. If you are someone you know is interested in competing please have the follow this link to feel out the application
acrobat.com/#d=GhIwBYseR9zI6B3nnBStlA and email it to naacpyouthpoetryslam@gmail.com. If there are any questions about the event please email you questions to that email address. "


I see positive changes in my future. And in light of that, here is an oldie, but goody of mine. Enjoy!! :o)

My Latest Interview & Respect & Thoughts on GURU passing

Over the Weekend (Sat. April 17th), and just b4 my show at the Shrine in Harlem, I had my first live interview in some months now. (last one was Nov. 10th 2009) In this interview on BTR (Blog talk radio) I was also feat. along side Native Son and 13 of Nazareth. Two other great writers/spoken word artist I admire. With a unexpected guest that called in also. In this interview, I discuss my background and some of my most certified pieces and share a new one, called "Unfinished". I also discussed along with the other artist about my legacy and what type I wanna leave for future generation in spoken word. Believe me when I say, it was a honor and pleasure being on panel with my amazing brethren in words and knowledge.

(Here is the direct link if you have prob. with the player)

**side note**: I'd also like to send my prayers and condolences to the family of hip-hop legend GURU (Keith Elam) of the group Gang Starr. Who recently lost his battle with cancer at age 43; after being in a coma since early this year. Respect to GURU and his groundbreaking, standard setting, edutaining flows and contributions. I'm definitely one, of many that grew up on some Gang Starr in the early '90s. Thanks for leaving a legacy to resound for young MC's to come.

Much love for Honest Abe. <3

Here are some pics from the show in Harlem

My First Feat. @ The Nuyorican Poets Cafe

Recently, I got the honorary opportunity to feat. for the 1st time at the Nuyorican (Feb. 27th) It was kinda a draining night for me. And I got more "Honest" than I ever have in any other feature performance to date. I wasn't in church, but I did, in s sense make a confession to the congregation. Below is one of the major ones I revealed, that have never done b4. I'm still, in some ways, learning to open up to connect the people a I grow in this sacred art form. I believe its one of my most personal poems to date. It hits home to me. Take from it what you will and give me some feedback.

Poet Rock, ROCKED!! And time to serve more poetic paraphernalia

My People,

Thanks for the support!! If you were able to make it out to Poet Rock (Brooklyn) back on Tuesday,

much love. :) If you didn't know, I recently put together a mix CD of some of my well known, hand picked,

pieces. Some are live and some have musical accompaniment. Which I sold at Poet Rock at an insane type price.

A one night only special under $10. But made it a set price of $10 now.

At this time, my CD is only available at my shows. But that will change in the future.

My next big show, which I'm sure I mentioned before, is coming up in a few weeks;

will be February 19th, at Raggs of Harlem. 101 E 119th st. ,Harlem, NY.

Show is called Friday Nite Mic w/Ron.

If your available and in the NY area at this time, your support & presence is humbly welcomed. B-)

There is no cover (but must support bar, which FYI, will be considered your cover charge)

I'll also have my new mix CD I put together, "Brooklyn's Lost Son" available for purchase.

Don't worry, I've gotten back to a steady pace on, "Unlocked Thoughts of a Prophet's Temple".

Lord willing, it should be a available before or by the end of February

with no more delays or procrastination on my part. lol.
