Happy Birthday to the legendary Henry Dumas! May your day swing smoother than jazz rhythms and sparkle brighter than poetic verses. Your timeless works like "Ark of Bones" continue to inspire, reminding us all that words can groove deeply into our souls.Your contributions during the Black Aesthetic movement remain powerful and relevant today—your voice echoing through generations with grace, wisdom, and style. Here's hoping this birthday finds you celebrating in true literary fashion: surrounded by good friends, great music, endless inspiration—and perhaps a cake as rich as your prose!
Cheers to another year of brilliance and rhythm!
