Doctrine of a Fallen Angel II

Doctrine of a Fallen Angel II

By: Tariq Mungin-Bey



I was born in New Jersey (New Jerusalem). As a child of the 50's I spent most of my life in the city of Newark, New Jersey. I experienced race riots, suppression of our culture, martial law, segregation, gang violence, and the infestation of drugs with its demising effects to our communities. In 1975 I began writing poems as a form of therapy. Against all odds I was blessed to make it out with some form of sanity. After experiencing many set backs; in 1995 at the age of forty I left Newark and moved to Brunswick, Georgia. It was then that I once again began turning my experiences into poems. I am the author of one book Doctrine of a Fallen Angel I and have performed at many venues in Jacksonville, FL (including the World of Nations Festival), Savannah, GA.



I had the honor and pleasure hosting a poetry venue for 3 years at JJ's Fish Hut in Brunswick, GA. In 2010 I hosted a show at the Unitarian Universalists of Coastal Georgia to raise funds for the Haiti after its devastating earthquake.
