************************************************Poet In Residence
"I linger here for the mountains the waters, and the shadows only … this tribe ain’t mine." -Ahmos Zu-Bolton

Zu-Bolton was an African-American Beat poet of the 1970s who touched lives as a “poet” in the classrooms of Virginia, Georgia and Texas. He was instrumental to college campuses adding new bodies of thought about poetry and color, as a writer of poetry collections such as Fishpond Australia, Ain't No Spring Chicken, Hoo-Doo, and A N*ggered Amen, which was published December 1, 1975. Ahmos Zu-Bolton was Resident Poet and advisor for the student publication Pegasus Literary Journal 1976 at George Washington Carver High School (Columbus, Georgia) in Columbus, Georgia in the spring of 1976, for the class of Dan Barfield, where he met, taught and was a major influence on the life and poetry of Will Dockery, and, the next year, Grace Cavalieri.

Cavalieri: "In 1977 he took my first full-length poetry book Body Fluids for distribution and sent me the first check I ever received for poetry. I think it was $7.00 or $8.00. He reached across race to include me. Connections. Interconnectedness is more like it."[8]

In Washington, D.C., Ethelbert Miller became his historian. Zu-Bolton was co-director to Ethelbert Miller's Directorship of the Afro American Resource Center at Howard University; and, there still exists in D.C. a community of poets who will always revere and love him. He teamed up with artists in New Orleans, Galveston, Austin and Houston to produce his HooDoo Festivals.

While living in New Orleans he taught English, African American Studies and Creative Writing at Xavier University, Tulane University and Delgado Community College. He was Visiting Writer in Residence at University of Missouri.. When Zu Bolton died in 2005, that college held a candlelight vigil. And, he connected with the old as well as the young: he and his wife, poet Harryette Mullen, worked with senior citizens in 1978, teaching and encouraging their life stories.*********************************************************

*******************************************************

After Johnson Publications abruptly discontinued Black World in 1976, Hoyt W. Fuller and
others founded First World Foundation in Atlanta and began to publish First World: An International Journal of
Black Thought. In The Black Arts Movement (2005), James
Smethurst does not associate the demise of Black World and the birth of First World with Watergate (1974), but
future studies of African American poetry will have to account for how the
covert activities of Richard Nixon’s administration intensified divisions and
decline within the evolving of Black cultural nationalism.
Post-Civil Rights assumptions about the aesthetic function
of poetry beg to be explained within the total context of dwindling American
faith in the credibility of democracy. The “formal turn” in black poetry after
1974, even if it is considered as a pure act of language (a specialized speech
act), must be associated with a paradoxical resuscitation of faith in American
exceptionalism. I want to sell signifying
tickets with the claim that young black poets born after 1965
consciously and unconsciously were determined in the late 1980s and early 1990s
to prove they were more quintessentially “American” in craft than other poets
in the United States, much in the fashion Ralph Ellison “proved” he was more
American than Saul Bellow. --Jerry W. Ward

> ************************************************Poet In Residence
> "I linger here for the mountains the waters, and the shadows only … this tribe ain’t mine." -Ahmos Zu-Bolton

> Zu-Bolton was an African-American Beat poet of the 1970s who touched lives as a “poet” in the classrooms of Virginia, Georgia and Texas. He was instrumental to college campuses adding new bodies of thought about poetry and color, as a writer of poetry collections such as Fishpond Australia, Ain't No Spring Chicken, Hoo-Doo, and A N*ggered Amen, which was published December 1, 1975. Ahmos Zu-Bolton was Resident Poet and advisor for the student publication Pegasus Literary Journal 1976 at George Washington Carver High School (Columbus, Georgia) in Columbus, Georgia in the spring of 1976, for the class of Dan Barfield, where he met, taught and was a major influence on the life and poetry of Will Dockery, and, the next year, Grace Cavalieri.

> Cavalieri: "In 1977 he took my first full-length poetry book Body Fluids for distribution and sent me the first check I ever received for poetry. I think it was $7.00 or $8.00. He reached across race to include me. Connections. Interconnectedness is more like it."[8]

> In Washington, D.C., Ethelbert Miller became his historian. Zu-Bolton was co-director to Ethelbert Miller's Directorship of the Afro American Resource Center at Howard University; and, there still exists in D.C. a community of poets who will always revere and love him. He teamed up with artists in New Orleans, Galveston, Austin and Houston to produce his HooDoo Festivals.

> While living in New Orleans he taught English, African American Studies and Creative Writing at Xavier University, Tulane University and Delgado Community College. He was Visiting Writer in Residence at University of Missouri.. When Zu Bolton died in 2005, that college held a candlelight vigil. And, he connected with the old as well as the young: he and his wife, poet Harryette Mullen, worked with senior citizens in 1978, teaching and encouraging their life stories.*********************************************************

Which has now been proven.

Ahmos Zu-Bolton was a friend ( they met in the Army, Vietnam) of Carver High School English teacher Dan Barfield in 1976.
Barfield would bring him to the class to speak and workshop as Poet In Residence. I don't seem to find many fellow students who remember him, I do because he gave me some good tips on writing poetry. Mainly "Be real, be honest."
