This summer UGA professor Melisa Cahnmann- Taylor invited me to read for her lit series Seat in The Shade. I opened for Georgia via Louisiana rock star poet Jericho Brown. Love seeing him read and especially love how in the discussion part Jericho discussed the influence of the Black church on his performance and writing.
I read from a second draft of an essay I am working on about Mississippi. I can’t even watch the video, and I know it’s probably rough, but I’m excited about this piece. I’m getting closer to saying what I have been trying to say about Mississippi my entire life. Video is linked here.
