What Sparks Poetry:
Alana Marie Levinson-LaBrosse on “Resurrection"
"This element of Kurdish delights me: to crack a word open and peer inside it, to find a world within a word, a world where the abstract is embodied. The Kurdish language calls the body into every conversation, fashioning idea from body. There is no hiding the body, not even to protect it." |

"The Blank Page: A Cover Image Story"
"Among other things, Worldly Things is about a Black man enduring in an anti-Black country. I hope readers will see it as a prayer for humanity, a work in praise of resilience and, in that way, lovely. I want a conspicuously Black book; I want people to pick it up and know it was written by a Black poet and concerns the Black experience."
