Statement of Thanks by Hakim Be:

Just as the feeling of being appreciated never gets old, there is no such things as “over doing it” with the practice of humility and giving thanks. Thank you Weekly Alibi readers and thank you Albuquerque. You don’t just encourage me to do what I love, you allow me to do it.

In the company of Levi Romero and Mary Oishi (two poets I look up to and am inspired by), I am thrilled to be considered “Best Poet” beyond the box (limitations) of slam poetry AS a slam poet. Thank you for doing more than accepting me, Albuquerque. Thank you for celebrating me. I thank God for you everyday, Burque. I am humbled and privileged to enjoy the mutual crush we have on each other…I hope it lasts forever. xoxo
