I just realized during my 45 minute subway commute into Manhattan that there's nothing sexier than a brother reading a book on the train. And it really doesn't matter to me what it is--the bible, K'wan, Da Vinci Code, John Grisham, Stanley Crouch. It don't matter.
Shrine of the Black Madonna and BIBR are sponsoring a short story contest. I'm thinking about entering one of the three short stories I have written. Yes I only have three. And trust, I struggled with those...
I know I'm late but the winners of the Hurston/Wright award were announced. Maryse Conde is one of my favorites. I think I have mentioned that before. I thought Chris Abani had other fiction before Graceland (which is on my never-ending list to read). I enjoyed Warrior Poet, read it for a class.
Maryse Conde, Who Slashed Celanire's Throat (Fiction)
Alexis De Veaux, Warrior Poet (Nonfiction)
Chris Abani, Graceland (Debut fiction)
Tracy Price-Thompson, A Woman's Worth (Contemporary fiction)

Hello, I'm Shawn Taylor and I'll also be on 1440 this Saturday. I just published a book entitled: Big Black Penis; Misadventures in Race and Masculinity and will be speaking about it. This is the first that I have ever read your blog and am oh so very happy. A sister involved in publishing, too? And from Brooklyn? You're a godsend. I'll be linking your blog to mine in hopes of contibuting to your exposure. I am looking forward to the weekend.
Be well.
Shawn Taylor
