"Black poetry is the music in the pulse of language...There is no song like the song of Cave Canem. There is no bread like the bread we break.”
Help us support Black poets as we continue to break bread to the music of Cave Canem: cavecanempoets.kindful.com/
Thank you @Danez_Smif and @POETSorg for the honor of today’s feature.
“I wanted to write a poem that explored these tensions and that would honor the young, Black lives and the supernatural world along with them.”
