Yesterday, I hit the road, in a Jack Kerouac/Easy Rider/Sibyl Gipsy sort of way (Sibyl Gipsy is one of my retired pseudonym... Sibyl=prophetess from the Aeneid, Gipsy=Wanderer). I like to think of it as migrating south for the winter :) This trip is part adventure, part service, part visiting close friends and family, part creative soul searching, part "should I relocate to one of these places?" and part some stuff I have no idea about.
Today, I am in Tampa, Florida.
About Me
- Deidre
- She goes by many names... Deidre Gantt. Hadassah Ayodele. The Sibyl Gipsy. Flux. Ward 7 Literati. Schoolgirl the Go-Go Nerd... Many disciplines... Poetry. Music. Drawing. Photography. Video. Regardless of which identity she has assumed or which medium she is working in, a few things are consistent: intense creativity that seeks to integrate personal exploration, community development and spiritual growth into a consistent identity. Although she has lived and learned in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Boston, Washington, DC is her hometown and both the inspiration and subject for much of her creative work. She is a Cave Canem fellow and a member of the Ward 7 Arts Collaborative, Inc. Her poems have been published in Brilliant Corners, divideDCity and Gathering Ground. She has performed nationally in the US at various venues including the Center for New Words in Somerville, MA, and the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, MD.
