"3798" On Back.

This is me and my siblings at the Mzilikazi Arts and Culture Center in Zimbabwe. Circa 1990.

I’m reading with two other amazing poets next month <3

My grandfather holding my father. Memphis.

My great-grandmother, on vacation in Austria. Early 1980s.

Me, at the lake. Fulton, MS. 9 May 2015.

I couldn’t help myself. The lake makes me feel sickening.

Also, it's snowing in Memphis, TN (which never happens, especially in March), and I'm loving it!

Very thankful to @unstamatic for featuring my photo “Downtown Door” 💖
