Q&A w/Tennison S. Black on their new #poetry collection, SURVIVAL STRATEGIES. UGA Press tinyurl.com/3f7pj58p

“In the call and response of now and way back when is where we find Ghost || Animal where ‘the house / creaks its rental lullabies’ where ‘blouses [are] thick with Virginia Slims’ and questioning young people explore who might become.” —Tennison S. Black milkandcakepress.com/product/ghost-…

How to be graceful, a masterclass:

Still smokin’ hot, this woman. 🔥 😅 And it’s nice to see the younger gens give her love, but they’ll never love her like an x’r who’s had a crush on her since ‘88. ❤️

Remembering my first AWP today—two Seattles ago. How I spent hours looking at blogs trying to prepare myself. It feels that big only once, or at least to me. Thankfully, very fast it became a small gathering of friends. Pls say hello if I’m being oblivious.

Tennison Black is signing their NationalPoetrySeries winning collection SURVIVAL STRATEGIES UGA Press booth 721 right now, y’all. Tennison S. Black
