Prosper Sylvain, Jr. (a.k.a. Mak30/Makendal) --

Prosper Sylvain's talent in poetic recitations and lecturing covers a wide range. He has had the opportunity to be inspired by Poet Laureate and SUNY Professor Leroy Jones (Amiri Baraka), and has had the opportunity to further his knowledge of English, African American and Haitian Literature, keeping a strong interest in the Negritude and Harlem Renaissance era. As a performer, Mak30 has shocked, inspired and incited his audiences and readers. Mak30 hopes to assist in raising the standard and bar of literature in the Haitian-American community while simultaneously teaching non-Haitians the truth, beauty, splendor and grit of his culture and history.
