There is no other child who is this one. There is no other nurse who is this one. There is no other hand eye tooth bone. There is no other sibling, no other tree. The rulers kill the world and say their stupid words. Their sounds waste breath and with their lives they kill life.

Winning my Emmy was a career highlight, but it was also a lonely experience.

For 35 years I’ve been the only black woman to win Outstanding Supporting Actresses in a Comedy Series.

But that all changes tonight… and it’s come full circle! #Emmys

“Today’s poem is an exercise in reclamation. In it, the poet writes like a whirling dervish, spinning in luminous circles, undressing her name for its essence,” says guest host @sheer_awe
