A veteran of various forms of public speaking, Analysis is a spoken-word poet, rad Left minister, bookseller, educator, and soccer addict! He’s featured and spotlighted at venues across New England, the Mid-Atlantic, and the world. A background in civil rights and economic justice, anti-apartheid and anti-racist organizing, secondary education, justice theory and ministry, and international travel manifests itself in his poetry—as does a love of radical history, family, and people in general. There’s also a naughty side that comes out now and then!

A native of Baltimore, the worker/co-owner of Red Emma’s Bookstore Coffeehouse studied Public Communication at the American University and holds a Master of Divinity degree from Howard University, from which he graduated with highest honors. Analysis is the host of Red Emma‘s Mother Earth Poetry Vibe, a quarterly open mic and feature venue of the theme “Peace, Justice, Poetry!”, and is a member of Simply Poetic Entertainment and of Restoration Village Arts. He is the author of Somewhere Through the Haze—a short collection of poems on a variety of justice human rights topics—and the album, A Couple Thousand Years Later.

Emily Dickinson famously said, ‘If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.’ Analysis cuts heads.
