Panel participant, Editor’s Roundtable and Publishers Marketplace, Griot & Grey Owl Black Southern Writers Conference, Durham, NC (November 8, 2025)
I'll be participating in the Editor’s Roundtable and Publishers Marketplace at the Griot & Grey Owl Black Southern Writers Conference in Durham on November 8th, 2025. I definitely have a bit of imposter syndrome because I don't have an agent and have been published by small presses, but I'm hopeful someone will benefit from whatever I end up sharing. I attended last year and was happy to see some

"I found this book among my late mother’s collection of poetry books.
Reading these poems was a refreshing experience, sometimes deeply moving. The poet’s voice did not quite speak to me as often as Audre Lorde’s did in her work. I would give 4.5 star" Read more of this review » |

“I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete till it is expressed. It is frustrating to have discovered a new author and not to be able to tell anyone how good he is; to come suddenly, at the turn of the road, upon some mountain valley of unexpected grandeur and then to have to keep silent because the people with you care for it no more than for a tin can in the ditch; to hear a good joke and find no one to share it with. . . . The Scotch catechism says that man’s chief end is ‘to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.’ But we shall then know that these are the same thing. Fully to enjoy is to glorify. In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.”
