THE REVIVAL

A poet is somebody free. A poet is someone at home. How should there be Black poets in America? -JUNE JORDAN-

I’m loving America right now. Shout out to Nikky Finney. I’m loving how I came to be in this place. The etymology of my name. The birthplace of my parents, and their parents, and their parents before. Southeast, Washington DC. Shout out to The New American Black.

The Revival 2011 was five black queer women poets on a national tour. Each and every concert took place in a private home. (Well, except that one time). My heart is so full I have no room, to write a message, that will market this project, that will convince you of the time we spent.

It used to be illegal for a woman like me to read.

Thank you to everyone who came and supported. And many thanks for the future. In all honesty, I relive a bit of that tour everyday.
