My latest writing on the radical tenderness Lucille Clifton brought to her children, her community, and her writing practice 💐

So proud of my former student, who wrote this piece centering the resistance work of Floridians in opposition to these hydra-headed fascist policies: teenvogue.com/story/florida-…

i accidentally broke a story full of academic and art world intrigue. it's my love letter to durham, north carolina, with all its riches and complications. i am deeply grateful to the many people whose trust and support made my reporting possible. theassemblync.com/long-form/art-…

The one Sally Rooney review you need in your life! Come for the James Joyce references, stay for the Catholic aesthetic...

the older I get, the less often I see criticisms of terms like "Global South" and "Third World" as harmless pedantic point scoring and the more I see such criticisms as union busting

A gorgeous, long review of Lucille Clifton’s Memoir GENERATIONS in The Nation ! PS I’ve always loved this photo of her! ❤️👸🏾 thenation.com/article/cultur…

I'm still spreading the gospel of Lucille, this time with a review of her reissued memoir, Generations: thenation.com/article/cultur…

My latest piece, out today in Harper's Magazine, is a love letter to a New Orleans cultural tradition: black-owned house museums. In tribute to the decades of love and labor of the New Orleans elders who make the city tick, and to all those who seek to follow in their footsteps. ✊🏿

My book is out this week from UNC Press! If you're interested in Black women writers, archives, and (of course) magic, please give it a read 🔮✨ uncpress.org/book/978146967…

I would like for you to read this essay. I know it seems quite a farfetched and maybe even silly endeavor, but I hope we can in some way at least be kind enough to leave the door unlocked for one another once it’s closed. #Solidarity

Tell me about it 😳

June Jordan is among many radical intellectuals blacklisted by the The New York Times for her principled anti-Zionism. If you say "free Palestine" but also you write for the Times, consider that it's because they think your advocacy is conditional enough to be co-opted.

Jordan's uncompromising commitment to Palestine is the subject of an instructive essay by Marina Magloire (Marina Magloire), published today in the Los Angeles Review of Books. lareviewofbooks.org/article/moving…

How can I write about June Jordan trying to radicalize her friends around Palestine without shouting out the friends that radicalized me: zaina الصوص Suja Sawafta | سجى صوافطة 🍉 bobuq بابک 🇵🇸. It's like June says: "All of us and me by myself: we're on." Quote is from her foreword to Civil Wars.

spoke to my dear friend and comrade Marina Magloire on the relationship between the two iconic Black feminists, June Jordan & Audre Lorde and their opposing views on zionism and what we can learn about this today. tune in here: open.spotify.com/episode/0uT2Ns…
