Afterword of "A Superb Coffeehouse, Indeed."

After a few people wanted to use my poem (written for the latest coffeehouse) in their schools, I finally felt I should rightfully give a title for this poem. The title is called: 'Exposure of The Soul', (by Will Brereton). Also, I am not kidding when I say my poem is being used in some English classes. I do not know how I feel about this.

One of my friends, Natalie, at Colonel By Secondary (a public high school in Ottawa) read my poem in her English class and I feel motivated to get in touch with the GSA advisers at Colonel By. In Buffalo, there is a school called Canisius High School (a private catholic high school) and there is an English teacher who would like to use my poem in regards to hearing the poems and stories of GLBT people in the world. I feel honoured that Canisius High School and Colonel By Secondary School, both completely different schools in thought and location as well, are being exposed to my poetry. I feel utterly speechless.

Canisius and Colonel By are schools that will hear my voice, as well as my friends and acquaintances at Park School heard at coffeehouse of course. Thank you for taking interest in The Coffee Teen and I really have come a long way from the previous years that entailed my younger consciousness and childhood years. I am much stronger than before.
