Black Skylark Z-Ped Music Player Zooms Forward
One of the most popular and fastest growing sites on the Internet, THE BLACK SKYLARK Z-PED MUSIC PLAYER features the writings of celebrated author Aberjhani, a former U.S. Air Force editor and widely published historian, poet, fiction writer, and essayist.
(PRWEB) July 5, 2005 -- A growing number of fans of The Black Skylark Z-Ped
Music Player have been treated in 2005 to a treasure house of literary gems,
including compelling short fiction and creative nonfiction, award-winning books,
critically acclaimed poetry, and interviews with creative talents from diverse
fields.
Featuring the work of celebrated Savannah author Aberjhani, The
Black Skylark Z-Ped Music Player to date has showcased such literary pleasures
as enthralling excerpts from the author’s forthcoming metaphysical mystery
novel, an interview with ESSENCE Magazine poetry editor Angela Kinamore,
profiles of Harlem Renaissance authors Jean Toomer and Langston Hughes, and news
updates on upcoming projects. Among the most recent additions to the site are
tributes to the late beloved singer Luther Vandross (April 20, 1951-July 1,
2005) in the form of an essay titled "Luther Vandross and the Gospel of Love,"
and a poem called “Things We Do For Love.” Future works include a “Creative
Conversatin’” interview with the internationally renowned artist known as
Pleasant.
Aberjhani is well known for his books: I Made My Boy Out of
Poetry (iUniverse.com); The Wisdom of W. E. B. Du Bois (Kensington Books); and
Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance (with Sandra L. West, Facts On File). For
the encyclopedia, he recently won the Choice Academic Title of the Year 2004
Award and the MBWC (Memphis Black Writers Conference) Award for Best Historical
Book 2005. The popularity of his work increased with publication of the author’s
poetry in consecutive editions of ESSENCE Magazine (April and May 2005) and
following an hour-long interview special conducted with Aberjhani by the writer
Nordette Adams for PowerTalk-Fm.com. In addition to those writings posted on his
web site, readers have also enjoyed creative nonfiction by the author at
TooWrite.com. However, Aberjhani credits The Black Skylark Z-Ped Music Player
with the increasing popularity of his writings by providing it with a flexible
and entertaining showcase.
“It’s more like an interactive magazine than a
web site, but what really makes it exceptional are the enthusiastic reviews from
readers around the world commenting on different stories, or poems, or books,”
said Aberjhani. “I’m especially stoked over the big hurrahs that readers are
giving the excerpts from my novel. At first I wasn’t too sure about posting
excerpts but am glad now that I did. I’m presently completing revisions on the
novel but haven’t settled yet on a publisher for it and am looking forward to
communicating with someone about that very soon.”
He
also noted his excitement over inclusion in photographer John Zeuli’s Keepers of
the Spirit exhibit, which features black and white portraits of such celebrated
authors as Coleman Barks, Harry Crews, Larry Dossey, Peter Straub, Maxine Swann,
and Andrew Vachss.
Publishers interested in available
completed manuscripts by Aberjhani are invited to review his profile at Imprint
Agency . Publishers interested in his current novel in progress may contact the
author through The Black Skylark Z-Ped Music Player or the aforementioned
Imprint Agency.
