I could post a Natasha Trethewey poem each day of the year. As a white father of Black children, the complexities of her poetry hit home #natashatrethewey #thrall #help #africanamericanpoetry #blackhistorymonth #poetry #poem #poemaday
I've had the luxury to watch Reef grow from Cyphers at psu to a representative of our city. His lyrics are cataloged in national library. This song has been one of my favorites this past year. #africanamericanpoetry #blackhistorymonth #reefthelostcauze #thetruimphant #poppadose #poetry #lyrics #poem
