#hwa5 #clintsmith I think it makes claims to truth by trying to provide an authentic recount of this person's experience... and how writting etc changes them. But it importantly omits a lot of the details, really centering on this experience through his poetry.
#hwa5 #clintsmith The visuals are quite "intimate"... they get really close to the figures/people talking, and you can see a lot of detail. The storytelling, on the other hand, is really just seeking empathy from the viewers...
For Juneteenth, there is a poem starting here 16:43 about 3 minutes - take the time. #Juneteenth #ClintSmith

"Nostalgia is a well-intentioned wound." What an amazing line of poetry. @clintsmithiii.bsky.social @clintsmithiii #ClintSmith #Poetry #AboveGround #PoetryIsLife @favepoem @poetry_project
Bernie the Beagle is laying on the couch, next to the book “How the Word Is Passed,” by Clint Smith. The couch is brown. The beagle is mostly dark brown, with some ticking on his legs, a chocolate nose, and a wise old white face.
Bernie is unusually well read. He highly recommends our latest book group book. I do as well - good writing, on a timely subject.

The book cover of How the Word is Passed, by Clint Smith, has only text, no images. The text includes the information that the book is a #1 New York Times Bestseller, and seals saying that it's a Winner of the National Book Critics' Award for Nonfiction, and that it was named one of the New York Times Book Review's 10 Best Books of 2021. At the bottom of the book cover is a quote attributed to NPR: "A lyrical and precise tapestry of the truth of America's past...The detail and depth of the storytelling are vivid and visceral, making history present and real."
For February fun, A-Cover-A-Day, books I love, that's all.
