I quite literally only thought about my life as a writer, when I said yes to this move.

[Arnisha @arnishadiamond]

Moving across the country as an adult not attached any specific communities , has been the single hardest thing I’ve done in my life.

Very dystopian 36 hours without internet in Baltimore… south of North Ave is completely dead for us, no wifi, no cellular data, and hardly any cell signal. But there’s been little to no communication from the city, xfinity, and at&t… what’s going on??

[CraigACurtis @CraigACurtis76]

@Xfinity estimated time for my internet to return is 5:30 PM today. In the central of Baltimore is this a real time line or will it slip like it has all Sunday.
Unacceptable. It’s zero redundant systems?

no cell phone service, no wifi, no data in Baltimore since 4am. reason 443020 why this west coast girl needs to find her way home—LA would never

blk poetry.

[ariana benson @literari_ana]

my process: draft, let the poem rest. redraft, let it rest. edit, rest more. again and again. it’s a dance of sorts.

this way, it sometimes takes years before the poem and i both decide we’re spent.

“‘The Black Outside’ imagines alongside Saidiya Hartman who said, ‘The enclosure is so brutal.’ It imagines us outside of the carceral ‘New World.’”
