โI write to free the child within me.โ Larry โAliโ Deminter is the author (under the pen name Ali Moseley) of the novel: โBroken Wingโ and a chapbook, โWords Never Got Spoken: How I Remember Juvenile Hall.โ
His work also appeared in the Harvard Journal of African American Policy; vol. 2018-19, Columbiaโs Exchange Magazine vol.2, Colossus: Freedom (Anthology), Silent Screams: Voices From Uncharted Territory (Anthology), Anthology (published by the William James Foundation), Beat Within Magazine, and other various essays at Tufts University (Resentencing Journal), and Cal State โ Los Angeles.
The original name of the City of Los Angeles (which means โthe angelsโ), El Pueblo de Nuestra Seรฑora la Reina de Los รngeles del Rio de Porciรบncula (the Town of Our Lady Queen of the Angels of the River Porciรบncula), is a tribute to the city. Beautiful and lustrous as it may sound, with the recent explosion of crystal meth and hate crime, weโve felt the rage of angels and the wrath of demons shake our Queenโs throne at the foundation.
