H.O.L.L.A.!

Welcome to the new pensfromthepen blog! This marlon peterson, a young man that has been blessed with skills and talents that he once squandered, but now utllizes those gifts to positively influence others. I am discursive. I am humorous. I am contemplative. I am critical. I am conscious. I am winsome. I am ME & YOU.

Enjoy my writing. Criticize it. Add to it. Take away from it. Be proactive about it.

Above all else, I care.

New Journals

One year later...

Well, I am blessed to be able to say I have accomplished a few things during the past 12 months. I finished at the top of my class at the Exploring Transfer Program at Vassar College. I was accepted to Vassar and NYU for the Spring 2011 semester. H.O.L.L.A.!, Ink. is progressing, and now I have a partner/Associate Director, Terrell Tate. Family is well. My nephew is finally playing bball at Kansas St. after many obstacles.

One year later, I sit at this computer and ask myself, "Where will I be next December?" Where will I be???

Welcome to Pens From The Pen

This site is brought to you by Marlon Peterson who is a writer, a poet, a journalist, a facilitator, and an individual with a lot to say. Because he is currently incarcerated at Otisville State Correctional Facility, and thus does not have access to the internet, the site will be maintained for the time being by Smiling Sara, a blessed invidual who had the privilege of meeting and working with Marlon during her time as a student intern working in Transitional Services at Otisville. Each of the links to the right connect to pages that contain writings, articles, poetry, art, and words from Marlon and other voices and individuals who are either incarcerated at Otisville or have current or previous involvement in the Transitional Services program.

Click on the links to the right of the page to explore, and welcome to Pens from the Pen: Alternative Media From Where You Would Least Expect It!
