Killah Shark was a member of Hittite Empire Black Men Performance Art group and, among many other projects, is a monthly contributor to Headline Poetry & Press.  Killah communicates through Terse Verse. Terse Verse is a very short form of poetry which starts with an impressive sounding question or statement and is solved by a short rhyme. He engages the form in a specific way; weaving personal mythologies with history to challenge the internal, to organically inspire social justice from within.
