Honoring Gwendolyn Brooks at Strathmore

"Recently, the Strathmore, in celebration of both the legacy of Brooks and the District’s grassroots poetry scene, presented Manual Cinema’s 'No Blue Memories: The Life of Gwendolyn Brooks' – a piece written and conceived by an all-Black creative team with original music which first premiered in the poet’s hometown of Chicago in 2017."

Alongside poets Dwayne B. Brandon Douglass, and Morgan Butler, I had the pleasure of closing off the sold out pre-show poetry event at Strathmore on January 24th.
