Happy Good Dress Day! I truly could not have asked for a better press to bring my baby into the world. The entire Tin House team has been AMAZING, but I am especially grateful for Beth, Becky, Jacqui, Isabel, and my awesome editor Alyssa!!! This process has been a dream 🫶🏿

Hey friends! Now that we’re six weeks out from pub day 🫨, I’m going to post a blurb for Good Dress each week. It was SUCH an honor to be read so generously by writers who I deeply respect and admire. First up is a blurb from Donika Kelly!! (Insert fan girl scream here!!)

LOVE this conversation with Bettina! I cite her often as a person who has made theory feel accessible to me; few works have made me feel as seen as Feelin did/does. Listen to her brilliance for yourself on this episode ❤️
On the new episode of #VSThePodcast, poet and professor, @bettinajudd joins @brittanyroger_ and @MoonsAtDusk!
In this moment from the episode, Bettina reads one of her poems. *Content warning for racist violence.

In my middle, small submarine, pigeon pea
housing hormones. A star was born beside it,
grew, then blued & popped. An angel appeared
before me, said, God will send a flood.

words can’t express the joy i feel!
this poem is the song of my heart and a balm against whatever cruelty they try and demand we bear. to the blueblack women, i love you 🌞💐
When they walk about the daylight, curl up in my grass blades, groan
Damn! these hills is hilling today! It’s the sweetest curse of my name, women
who come from flatlands, buildings that bleed no natural light.
