When I just go ahead and do it and don't really read it, folks walk off talking about 'Whoa, that sure was good. I sure did enjoy that. Flowers, from Memphis, got his start in New York where he was referred to as a blues man. He said he is very proud of his delta heritage. That's why in all of my novels, they deal with the blues and voodoo because I consider those spiritual traditions.
Flowers teaches advanced fiction in New York City and has written two novels and a children's book.
He has received two grants in literature, Patrick Carney, president of the UPC arts and multicultural committee, said. The program is sponsored as part of Black History Month. The program was followed with a book signing by Flowers in front of the Union Bookstore. Student Publications Inc. All rights reserved.
