Logic(s) made it open access! Click the hyper link to read it for free.
I woke up today to the most delightful text. Somehow Christina Sharpe saw this piece and liked it?! I’m just blown away.
I’ve been thinking about the wind a bit, after reading of Kitsimba in Pedagogies of Crossing. How the winds blow, how my breath quivers.
I wrote this piece over a few months last year, I had met with Sun Yun Shin and she said try to get my college essays/poems/writings published. What started as an assignment became Life Study. Shout out to Brother Minkara and Khadijah and Joshua Myers and June Jordan for teaching me a little about Life Study. I am learning to demand more for myself. Anyway…now I’m in an african philosophy class getting to learn about Ifa, and an intro to writing children’s literture class trying to write about blood…so I’m not sure what kinds of stuff I’ll be creating and sharing here in the next 6 months. But It will likely be a lot of creative experimentation as I try to work out some of these other projects. Also! little did u know might be making a come back. But all of that is happening while I am also hoping to transfer schools. Somewhere with an Africana Studies program. Somewhere that don’t have a minnesota winter lol. I can’t decide if I want to dual major in creative writing and africana studies, or go somewhere that lets you make a new hybrid degree…maybe id mix critical adoption studies in there? Idk. Does undergrad even matter lol. Maybe I want a Ph.D? If you got any suggestions, let me know. Otherwise, read a shape of black and share it with a friend, and subscribe for more.
love you
matthew
