Pushcart Prize nominee! Tara M. Stringfellow, MAGIC ENUFF: Poems

Zibby is joined by two-time Pushcart Prize nominee Tara M. Stringfellow to discuss MAGIC ENUFF, an electrifying, glorious collection of poems that tells a universal tale of survival and revolution through the lens of Black femininity. Tara opens up about her identity as a Black woman and poet. She highlights specific poems, such as "Exodus," written in memory of Tyree Nichols, a Black artist from Memphis who was killed, and “This Woman,” which draws from her mother's experience of racial violence as a child during the Civil Rights Movement. Finally, she reflects on the success of MEMPHIS, which was a “Read With Jenna” pick.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4dgOdX9Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
