In Memory of Kenny Kirkland


Before we get to the main attraction today, I just wanted to post a link to my poem "After The Summer of Young Men In a Hurry" that appeared in today's Pyrokinection:

The late Kenny Kirkland is one of the many artists who inspired my summer contest, and he himself inspired "After The Summer of Young Men In a Hurry" -- as I always think of him as someone who left us too soon.

It's fitting that A.J. Huffman decided to post that poem today as we are finishing up the contest this evening.  Voting begins on September 1 and ends on September 15.

To finish with, here are a few videos for you to enjoy!
