Will you join me? We're doing it up at Richard Beavers' beautiful Bed Stuy art gallery on July 26 for the official book launch party for Everything Is Necessary, my second poetry collection. Please RSVP here.
I've really enjoyed talking about the book and my artistic process with different literary magazines and blogs like Mom Egg Review and Black Perspectives, a publication of the African American Intellectual History Society.
Please keep liking, sharing, and generally spreading the word about the book! I'd love to see Everything Is Necessary on college syllabi, as well as in your local library or neighborhood bookstore.
As a published writer for over 20 years, I know that none of this work is possible without community. That's why it's my pleasure to feature readings by three exceptional poets at the book launch.
Elvis Alves is the author of I Am No Battlefield but a Forest of Trees Growing(Franciscan University Press) and Valerie Deus is the author of Skull-filled Sun (Is a Rose Press). I had the honor of reviewing and blurbing both of these powerful poetry collections. Starr Davis is a poet on the rise and a former student in the Interactive Poetry Workshop I taught at City College, CUNY. Please check out their work.
Thanks for all your support. See you at the party!
