The Furious Flower Poetry Center and a stellar group of scholars and teachers have developed a syllabus that I can assure you will be an amazing resource. I cannot wait to dig into it and if you are at all interested in Black Poetry you will dig it too. jmu.edu/furiousflower/syllab…

One of the great joys in serving on Council are the weekly "centering moments" provided by Rock Star Poet Laureate Fred Joiner. As @fjoiner's appointment winds down, I'm looking forward to the new voice that Poet Laureate Liza Wolff-Francis will bring to the Chamber.

Aaron Douglas found inspiration in the blues, creating a visual equivalent to Langston Hughes’ efforts to capture the sound, texture, & southern origins of modern Black culture See their 1925 collaboration in “Modern Black Culture: Art of Aaron Douglas” at @AcklandArt
