You will be in Minneapolis for AWP in 2015 in thoughts on what you'll be discussing. Also I'd like to invite you to the Givens Foundation of African American Literature collection at the Anderson Library at the University of Minnesota if you have the time. I'm the board vice chair. We have a website Givens Foundation.

Roxane Gay:
Hi Roxane, I'm a huge fan of 'An Untamed State' and in the novel you mention a lullaby about a mother slaughtering her children and this lullaby was related to Mireille by her Jamaican friend Elsa. I'm just wondering, is this a real lullaby? I'm Jamaican and I've never heard of it so I'm curious if its rooted in historical fact or if this is just poetic license on your part.
