Hi Stackers!
Back in the day on my old blog, I used to do what I called “bragging on” posts, where I shouted out the achievements and projects of friends. I’d like to bring those back, so I figured a poetry month bragging on post was called for - plus a book haul recording where I talk about the two books I bought recently, at Blue Cypress Books.
From my book haul: Skye Jackson’s new book of poetry Libre. Watch An Evening with Louisiana Poet Laureate Alison Pelegrin in conversation with Skye Jackson - hosted by One Book One New Orleans at the Community Book Center (which is where I originally met Skye a few years back.
Last, but not least, I’m excited to brag on Karisma Price, who recently won a Whiting Award. Karisma is so incredibly talented and I’ve always felt lucky to know her. You can buy her book I’m Always So Serious pretty much everywhere, but the link is for Blue Cypress Books. Here’s a video of Karisma in conversation with Terrance Hayes about I’m Always So Serious.
I hope you enjoy some of this beautiful poetry for National Poetry Month!
