Took a bit of time off to rest and recover, but I am back and will do my best to post more regularly here. There is so much good Black Ekphrastic and other interdisciplinary work happening I may need some help getting it all posted here.
To restart things, I want to share an online portfolio of poems. called The Poets Play Bearden on the online journal theartsection. It was curated by poet Prof. Opal Moore. The title of this portfolio appears to be a nod to the awesome archival PBS film Bearden Plays Bearden
James Earl Jones narrates the film and it has appearances by Ralph Ellison, Albert Murray, James Baldwin, and others.
Moore’s selection includes poems by Melba Joyce Boyd, Jericho Brown, Felton Eaddy, Sharan Strange, Frank X Walker and Rachel Eliza Griffiths.
