I began writing poetry while in a state of deep emotional pain, and it was through poetic expression that I began to experience the healing of my deepest emotional wounds. When I added the ancient, sacred practice of African drumming, my poetry came to life! I coined the term Drumetry(TM) (drumming and poetry) to describe this art form. Drumetry is medicinal music on a mission. Music is the medicine, and its mission is to heal.

Drumetry content is inspired by my own healing, my work with clients, human nature, and Nature. In writing this book, I noticed these themes and organized this book around them: Love/Self-Love, Empathy and Compassion, Cultural Pride, Freedom, Nature/Divinity.

In addition to the poems, this book shares my inspiration and motivation for writing each poem. There is also space for the reader to interact with each poem through reflections and musings, and there is an invitation for readers to unleash their inner poet.

Birthing Drumetry was an exercise in freedom, and it can be likened to the archetypal Hero's Journey, popularized by Joseph Campbell: to live through pain, to be transformed by it, and to share the gifts and wisdom with others. Drumetry is my gift to you. Unwrap it and enjoy!

To hear Drumetry performed, you can check out my Drumetry albums, Drumetry: Medicinal Music on a Mission and Drumetry Unleashed! Both are available for download on Bandcamp (https: //drumdrdot.bandcamp.com/) and are also available on all major streaming platforms.
