POEM OF THE WEEK
Slip Away
trickling down
moments away
bubbles crown
heat underway
toe dip
submerge my brown
up I glare
i feel it all around
flames spark
a single candle
illuminates the dark
salt & eucalyptus
i release
not religious
but for where i go
is only suspicion
inhale...
exhale...
trickling down
moments away
submerge my brown
i slip away

POEM OF THE WEEK
ABOUT
Francis King-Harvey was born and raised in the urban neighborhoods of Philadelphia. He studied studio art at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa. In his art, King-Harvey plays with representational and abstract imagery to provoke a deeper questioning of identity and what it means to be black in America. King-Harvey does not rely on one medium as he believes the world is too vast for containment. A variety of mediums allow both the artist and the viewer to have unique experiences. His art-making journey started when he was young and dreamt of being an architect. With time and age, that desire evolved into a love of creating thought-provoking experiences. He is excited to see how his art will impact him and improve other areas of life and its meaning. As a conclusion to his undergraduate career, King-Harvey was featured in an Art exhibition in the Spring of 2021 at the Susan & Benjamin Winter Visual Arts Center at Franklin and Marshall College. King-Harvey's "Regality: Issue I - Do You See US" exhibition is now available online under the "PROJECTS" section.
