They call me Marvin K. White, author of the Lambda Literary Award-nominated collections of poetry last rights and nothin’ ugly fly(Redbone Press).  I am called a poet, performer, playwright, visual artist as well as a community arts organizer. My poetry has been anthologized in The Road Before Us: 100 Black Gay Poets; My Brothers Keeper; Gents, Bad Boys and Barbarians: New Gay Writing; Things Shaped in Passing; Sojourner: Writing in the Age of AIDS; Bum Rush the Page; Role Call; Spirited; Freedom in this Village, Think Again; If We Have To Take Tomorrow, as well as other local and national publications. I am a former member of the critically acclaimed Pomo Afro Homos, and have led creative arts and writing workshops from inner city elementary schools to youth centers for runaway kids to black gay youth support groups. I hold a fellowship in the national African-American poetry organization, Cave Canem; sit on the board of Fire & Ink, a national black LGBT writers organization; and am co-founder of B/GLAM (Black Gay Letters and Arts Movement), a Bay Area, California, organization whose goal is to preserve, present and incubate black gay artistic expressions.

And there is way more of me than there is to me.
