Taters4art Podcast

Sitting with Marcus Taylor (Poet, Author, Educator). We discuss the Facebook grapevine, democracy at its finest, how hood dreams can come true, diversity at GSU, blackface in different countries, being black outside of the U.S., going from religious studies to snap music, cars dying in the middle of nowhere, sharpening skills with battle poems, the girl with angel eyes, rapping Romeo & Juliet, the age we find our voice, how losing art can make kids lose their voice, what defines an artist, sweet-talking a butterfly, and these Benjamins ain’t loyal.   CONNECT WITH MARCUSBrown Eyed Soul Manon Facebookon Twitteron Instagram   CHAPTERS0:00  Opening1:51 Begin Conversation4:08 Baby in a Christmas stocking onesie.9:06 Bring Change to Your Community16:10 Experiences in Blackface25:08 Diaspora and Disparity35:51 Just Along for the Ride45:02 Birth of an Author52:48 The Romeo Rap55:39 Being Allowed to Find Our Passion1:08:55 Pop Quiz: A Poem for a Butterfly1:11:48 Pop Quiz: A Poem for God1:12:18 Pop Quiz: A Poem for
