from Apples and Snakes: The Podcast · host Apples and Snakes
Reece Williams is a Mancunian poet of Jamaican and Trinidadian heritage whose debut collection ‘This Kind of Black’ was released this year. He has performed internationally and is celebrated for his works that speak as much in performance as they do on page. He often wrestles with being British, ideas surrounding identity and intergenerational trauma, and the burden placed on young, Black men. With Yomi, they watch Keisha Thompson’s performance of ‘Algebra’ - a title whose metaphor is for “the reunion of broken things” - a way to piece together what has been distorted, neglected, or made invisible.
