S. VELVET NOOSE
POET
When you see S. Velvet Noose's moniker attached to a project, be assured poetic theatre for the night will be your indulgence. Nooses creations are a mixture of theatre and poetics, sprinkled with pop culture. Through Nooses showmanship of heart wrenching narratives and abstract religious tales (that our often perverse), audience members become full participants in the challenging subject matter. Notorious for performing in his rendition of black-face or glam-minstrel, Noose pairs the medias archetypes of homosexuality and the historical racially oppressing black-face. Glam-minstrel creates a mockery of the mockery, intending to tear down Black queer ethnic notions. While the subject matter Noose has chosen to tackle is weighty, he engages the audience taking them on an enthralled journey of drama, comedy and a visual presentation that fully stretches the smile and the inquisitive lines in audience members foreheads

WORDS THAT BREATHE LIFE
BOOK
"A few years ago I started using my own words as a form of therapy for life's struggles and achievements. Later, I compiled all of these saved journal pieces to create Words That Breathe Life. The premise for this book is a personal journal of real-life situations that were turned into a message for the day. These experiences touch on pain, hurt, betrayal, fulfillment, delight and other raw emotions. Although wonderful to seek knowledge from our elders, it is also great to have a peer who can relate more to today’s world and give sound advice. I am hoping my book will encourage you to embrace life, learn from your mistakes and celebrate happiness while continuing on your journey of existence."
- V. Bella
I purchased my book last August [2010] while visiting in NYC and enjoyed every bit of it from the beginning to the end. As she stated above, it is a journal and the format is as such and emits raw emotions. "Words That Breathe Life" takes you on a journey of personal situations [good & bad] and how V. Bella not only coped but turned it into a learning experience. We all go thru it and many times are not quite sure whom to turn to and often seek self-help. Self-help is good however you then have the the tendency to over analyze the situation and in turn make matters worse. This book aids in relief to those everyday struggles as well as encourages a new zest for life hence it's title
"Words That Breathe Life."
I highly recommended this book to own as well as give as a gift and you can purchase it on her website,
