Save the date! On Saturday, December 16, I'm hosting the Poetry Society of Virginia's Across the Lines of Land & Language. Join us for this reading and conversation as this group of fabulous writers shares selections from their work and explores questions such as: What nuances in identity, class, gender, and language in the work of Black women writers are sometimes overlooked in mainstream cultural outlets? What forms and styles are most effective in exploring these nuances? How do different Black literatures think with and about one other? Scan the QR code to register for this Zoom event.
