The Writers Room

Co-curatin’ with Khemist —this was a night with special guest Sunni Patterson, Black Ice, and Immanuel Wilkens. I built a mini bookshop for each featured poet. Then after their performance they signed and folks purchased. We sponsored and co-curated a full season of The Writers Room together with all types of amazing folks from Laurin Talese to Mahoghany Browne to Joshua Bennett to Jasmine Mans. I don’t know what Khemist did with all that footage. But…one day. Whew! Community got to take all the fruit home. Poetry was next level insane. Literal and spiritual nourishment. I can’t believe I lugged all this shit into the space and then back to the shop. That’s borderline insane. Whole community had to help me unload and reload. That in itself was a community building exercise month after month. A marathon, not a sprint. But I do get why I am tired AF these days. This was June 22, 2023
