Written Against Cultural Stagnation
Promoting inspiration, awareness, and growth!
We would like to thank you all for you continuous support. We are fresh off a correspondence hiatus just in time for National Poetry Month. In case you weren’t aware, April is National Poetry Month. On schedule is the first release under the WACS umbrella. Written Against Cultural Stagnation Vol. 1 The Raised Curtain is set to be released early January 2010.
" I’m about the love of art and culture and my idea of Freedom. I’m simply a writer with a purpose here to inspire through my work ethic and be an example of the growth and change I wish to see, thus proving evolution is constant. The main objective for me is to maintain a solid foundation based on love, honor, and respect, our children's futures depend on it. My influences include Langston Hughes, Gil Scott Heron, Booker T. Washington, Emmanuel Kant, Maya Angelou, Tupac Shakur, Paulo Coehlo, to name a diverse few".

Written Against Cultural Stagnation: Vol. 1 The Raised Curtain
By: Anthony Pearson
This is a short journey through the thought process of a young Black male from Irvington, NJ. The objective is to express my thoughts on a range of topics which I feel are relevant to our everyday lives in society, through poetry and prose. This is my first published collection displayed in 48 pieces of poetic interpretation in 4 chapters.
The Cause and the Affects
The Ties that Bind
The Ground is Shaking (but nothing is groundbreaking)
The Race to 2008
WACS Quote of the Moment
One thing alone I charge you. As you live, believe in life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader and fuller life. The only possible death is to lose belief in this truth simply because the great end comes slowly, because time is long.
W.E.B. Dubois

Why Read? We Owe It To Our Ancestors!
Dedicated to, and made for, our children of a brighter generation.
When They Carve My Name In Stone
The only thing I've ever owned
no strings attached and no debt to pay
I held on to it with total control
The path I paved through countless days
sleepless nights, restless hours, and weary minutes
A story worth words unspoken and unscathed
in the name of liberation
They will carve my name in a stone made for me
yet I am not in a grave
my spirit flies
Remembrance floats so high
that it trickles down
to the many who won't ask why
They will simply accept the presence
of a soul manifested
in the form of a lesson and a blessing
Heavenly I will sit
promoting the gifts of the future
as I did in my present day life maneuvers
When they carve my name in stone
let it be known
Just incase they thought wrong while I was in the physical form.
