Congrats to poet Khalisa Rae for successfully pulling off this relatively new Black poetry conference in Durham, NC. Writers such as Phillip B. Williams, Tyree Day, Tiana Clark, and Airea Matthews came together for workshops, readings, community, and signings. I missed it the first year but was able to get up there to support this year. I expect the conference's profile to grow with each passing year, especially given the talent Khalisa's already been able to attract.
