Joshua was not the only person to approach me about publishing my first full length book of poetry but he is the only person who approached me abt a book & then accepted a no with an ask that he publish this chapbook i was working on called Brazilian Is Not A Race (he was like "sure, whatever"--lol) & who reveled w me at how it pissed off all these careerists anti-communists in poetryland lol & then approached me about publishing a full length manuscript again a year later--which I agreed to. I remember telling him, when he asked again, "I like our project." Thank you, Joshua, for giving so much of yourself to our project 🖤
