"Tantra-zawadi remains one of the modern lyrical masters and keepers of a timeless poetic tradition. Whether live, recorded or in print, her curation of words has definitely earned her a place in the contemporary canon."-Mwalim DaPhunkeProfessor, Director of Black Studies, University of Massachusetts; "Tantra-zawadi is magical just like the African mermaid. Her flow is like water and her words become the boat that you sail in. In this world of form and no substance, her words have meaning and a sensuality that we don't find often. Hearing and reading her poetry is like taking a journey to the places we dream of."-Abiodun Oyewole, Founding member of The Last Poets

Brooklyn born poet/author Tantra-zawadi best describes her work "by the love that I make through my art to the vision of the unseen reality." Soulful and sublime, her poetry explores love in all its forms; from the rush of the first kiss to the bittersweet. As a performance poet and published author, Tantra uses her voice to support the rights of women through creative expression. She has performed to standing-room audiences at venues as far away as South Africa, London, Germany and Canada. Tantra is also a recipient of the Kings County District Attorney's Office Award for Women's History Month and a 2010 Pushcart Prize nominee for her poem "Girl." Partial proceeds from Tantra's latest book "Gathered at Her Sky" (Poets Wear Prada), are being donated to the Girl-Child Network Worldwide. Tantra is also the author of "alifepoeminprogress" by Chuma Spirit Books. Known for being on the cutting edge as an artist and for speaking out about issues such as HIV and AIDS awareness, Tantra's poem and video "Scarlet Waters," was featured on the Product(RED) video wall to raise awareness for HIV/AIDS in Africa. Her short documentaries are "Girl: The Film, Volume I - A Message from Ardija Red-Cloud," and "A Silent Genocide A Brief Insight into HIV/AIDS," both edited by Oliver Covrett, XyayX Multimedia
