I’m happy to share that my book PollyNation: A Seminary of Self won Inverted Syntax’s Aggrey Book Prize! #poetry

This Saturday, I am leading a session about my project, ReVer(b)sions Lab and discussing one of its guiding texts, Aime Cesaire's "Poetry and Knowledge." What are the limits of scientific language and the possibilities of poetry and a tool for knowledge-making? Email me for the link.

In collaboration with Speculative Sundays Poetry Reading Series, I am facilitating a speculative poetry workshop and tribute to Nikki Giovanni on January 19 from 5-7pm EST. To rsvp, register here: bit.ly/GoingtoMars

Despite the world being on fire, here's a bit of happy news: I got a NYSCA grant to do a poetry radio series, called K(Reel)K², inspired by Louis Armstrong's reels he made during the later part of his life recapping work and life, located at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens!
