Your poem is also featured in a deluxe hardbound edition. This anthology, as expected, will soon be sold out. We have, however, reserved a limited number of copies that are now available only to poets included in this distinctive volume. Because you are one of these poets, we wanted to remind you of its limited availability. If you haven't already ordered a copy or wish to obtain additional copies, this is your last opportunity to do so. Don't miss out on owning this unique edition featuring your poem! - Howard Ely, Managing Editor poetry.com
Dear Kaiyu,
This memo comes to you with a high degree of urgency. As of today, I have not received your Noble House submission. I recently informed you that Noble House, one of the foremost publishers of fiction and nonfiction works, was interested in your poetry. I had the pleasure of reading the poetry you have submitted in the United States, and I want to congratulate you on this grand endeavour. I also wanted to inform you that your talent and vision deserve appropriate international recognition as well.
For this reason, I have posted this letter to respectfully request that you send me your submission as soon as possible since I have reserved extensive space to prominently honour your poetic work in this publication. Favourite Memories is a new poetry edition that is being distributed worldwide by Noble House . . . a collection of poetry that is perhaps unlike any you have ever seen . . . one where each poem is featured on its own page, and one whose quality is reminiscent of the finest 19th century antique poetry books.
Kaiyu, may we have permission to publish your work? Regardless of whether you purchase a copy or not, the international public deserves to see more of your artistic talent. In order to make our publication date, you must submit your new poem as soon as possible! I would hate to see you miss out on this opportunity. To make things easy, you may Submit Your Poem and biographical information, and give us permission, all within the confines of the next page. And if you are inclined to order a copy of Favourite Memories, you may also do so at the same time.
Sincerely,
Nigel Hillary

Bio
From uncertain times come our positive, wise, cheerful and truthful songs. The stories we sing about can span back to 100 000 years ago in our country and also speak about our times today. Unity, Faith and Freedom is where we would like our experience to arrive and we sing about always keeping on that track.
We talk about belonging to a peaceful people and land, being disrupted, survival, revival, childhood, adulthood, motherhood, fatherhood, day to day and politics of course. We advocate natural living, positive thinking, people belonging in nature and together and really hope to make our differance with music and dance. Roots/Hip Hop with major Indigenous rock influence, we call our genre Murri Jama (Meaning Indigenous Music).
Kaiyu Bayles is the songwriter of most songs and grew up in the heart of Murri Jama at radio redfern and touring around the country as a littlee with Australia's best Indigenous acts e.g Warumpi.
The dream for Deep BLACK to become a vehicle for all young rappers/artists to come together on the one stage, by recording and appearing with as many unsigned performers/writers as possible. In our family alone we have five writers/performers under 25, all ready to record and get out there.
From our community we bring by singingin our messages and perspectives.
We are influenced the most by our early style of rock/roots (bands like Bapu Mammus, scrap metal, no fixed address and warumpi) and by modern hip hop outfits. So thats the sound - Indigenous roots/Hip hop - Murri Jama. The only sound close to ours that you hear today would be Zenith maybe.
We have been thru the angry, self destructive cycles and have found avenues and messages to contribute towards change from a unique angle. We have new concepts and notions of a peaceful and passive revolution.
We will always appear with traditional dance first as most of us are dancers too and we got to start the party right!
