32. Send For A Poet

from The Writers’ Block Podcast Hosted by Jennifer Bush-Harris

James Baldwin said that a nation need to be nervous if it fails to produce poets. Toni Morrison said that in times of chaos and upheaval is when writers do their best work! This episode is to remind you there is still work to be done! And you have a stake in that. The Writers’ Block Podcast welcomes Alyssa Davis and the reading of her poem, “My Skin Is Not A Weapon”. We look forward to hearing more from her. Author note: I was trying not to cry even thinking about what happened to George Lloyd on a public street—in daylight. #BlackWritersMatter #SayHisName #GeorgeLloyd #BreonnaTaylor #AhmaudArbery
