Description

On this week’s episode, Brittany and Ajanae travel to Houston, Texas for the first interview of their (mini) South tour. There, they talk with Joy Priest about landscape, road trips, the process of creating, putting together a collection, and what happens when Blackness meets theory.
Until Next Time: 
Here are some pieces of media to accompany your experience of the episode, and a writing prompt to tide you over until we meet again!
Read: Sharon Olds - “The Unborn” “After Making Love in Winter” 
Patricia Smith - “When Burning Begins” 
Terrence Hayes - “American Sonnet for My Past and Future Assasin” 
Prompt: Write your own theory of living. Consider: What things must be present for you to feel sustained? What truths ground you? What are the facts that make you possible?
