In recognition and appreciation of Appalachian heritage month, and in an
effort to contribute to a more diverse conversation on what it means to
be Appalachian, Stacia Fleegal and I decided to show a little love to a
few talented poets that we’ve published in previous issues who are all
members of an organization called the Affrilachian Poets (you can follow
them
here on Facebook and learn more about them
here).
We're going to feature one poet every Monday that remains in October.
Last week's interview was with Ricardo Nazario y Colón. Up this week is Keith Wilson, whose poem "rules of prejudice" rocked our
20th issue. Rocked it so hard that got a lot of feedback about it and we eventually
nominated it for Best of the Net 2011. Find out more about Keith
here.
Enjoy the interview!
