Friends, I’m super excited and giddy to get the word out about my poetry performance comin up on Tue. November. I have some stuff in the vault that might be ready for sunshine (or moonlight), and I’ve got some recently released poetry collections, so I may share some of those pieces as well. I hope you join me!

Spoken Word and Poetry Meet featuring Reza “Rites” Clifton, Tuesday, Nov 1 · 7:30–9:30 PM, hosted by Jaybird Walker at R1 Indoor Karting, 100 Higginson Ave, Lincoln, RI.

The night will start with an open mic, followed by me sharing poetry and storytelling from 3 AM IS THE NEW BLACK (@3amblack). I can’t wait!

It’s fun to find new and different ways to connect to your community. Setting up at markets, placemaking and performing, and (re)launching the 3 AM IS THE NEW BLACK online store(s) have all emerged as great ways to share (bits and pieces of) “art, essays and poems” and to explore the “intersection of high art, street art, and critical social discourse.”

We will be set up next month at an @anti_robotclub market in Providence (check them out), or you can browse through canvases, greeting cards, tote bags, hoodies and digital poetry collections for children and adults at shop.3amblack.com. For updates on pop-up shops and the release of new work, follow #rezarites and the #3amblack community on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @3amblack.

What if I told you…I tire of gatekeeping? To be connected has its values; to wait for connectors soils the soul.

Check out shop.3amblack.com for original designs and direct access to art (including canvas prints and greeting cards), poems, and more from 3 AM IS THE NEW BLACK.

You betta ask somebody! Well actually…you don’t need to.

Sunshine and laughter. – Reza Rites

#3amblackpoetry in July, Day 29: Levitate

If I had to give everything a cute name or title, I would call today “Pay on the Way Day.” That is because I had to create and send invoices for projects and work I’m excited to produce and share. It feels especially good as I approach the end of #3amblackpoetry in July.

Keep in mind, the pay that will follow these paydays aren’t just for my pockets, but to also invest in and advance my next steps as a “writer, artist, and cultural savant.” You can help, too, by visiting and making a purchase from the new 3 AM IS THE NEW BLACK online store: https://bit.ly/3OkyedM

Anyone who has put on a successful event knows that the smoother it looks, the more filled it was with planning, strategizing, delegating, and all the ings. That is to say, there is what happens before an audience, and what happens behind closed doors and/or around the boardroom table. The same is often true for writers, artists, and creatives who set up to sell or share work.

I’ve been writing a good deal about my behind-the-scenes process, but for Day 28, I am excited to share details about some in-person, patron-driven events I will be part of. Details about both are below, but if you happen to be there, or are curious, I will have my normal 3 AM IS THE NEW BLACK vending set-up and “mobile studio,” which includes stickers, bookmarks, postcards with and without pre-written poems, and my typewriter set-up for those requesting on-the-spot, original greeting cards and poems. I am excited to announce that I will ALSO be sharing links, QR codes and “coupons” for the new 3 AM IS THE NEW BLACK online store.

The new store houses tee-shirts, hoodies, bags, pouches, and even a custom-designed yoga mat! I also have e-book versions of some of my poetry collections, including Las Canciones de la Sirena/Siren Song. To peruse – and purchase – visit https://bit.ly/3OkyedM.

Thanks for your support! – Reza Rites
