What a gift to have been able to make my second Furious Flower Black Poetry Conference, though I could only get up to JMU/Harrisonburg (VA) for part of Friday and the Saturday session. I got to hug a lot of necks, hear readings from poets I've never heard of from across the African diaspora, and meet a bunch of brilliant professors and young poets. This event gets bigger and bigger and I'm excited for what it's gonna look like in another 10 years.
