Deep condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Randall Kenan. I'm crushed by his passing. I wrote a blog post about him just two weeks ago. This is a major loss to our literary community. 😢
@pjmendez_ and @NzeluWrites: your recent conversation (https://t.co/6ik4YjiU0a) was so incredible that it moved me to thank both of u for your brilliance, Black & queer. So inspiring, so validating!!
