So excited to announce that my next book is currently underway! What an exciting process this is! With the help of the fabulous team at Tell Tell Poetry, things are moving along and the new book should be released by the end of the summer or the early fall. I feel like with two books under my belt, I am officially solidifying my place as a bona fide author!
This next book will continue my narrative journey in verse, focusing more on poems and narratives closely tied to the black experience. This collection will also celebrate love, denounce rejection, agonize over loss, and tell a scary story or two along the way. I cannot wait for you to get your hands on it!
In the meantime, one of my brilliant daughters came up with some ideas for the cover. These are rough sketches that she came up with, but I actually thought they came out pretty good, all things considered. As I wait for the cover ideas from the Tell Tell team (they used some of her sketches for inspiration), I thought it would be fun to share them with you as a sneak peek of what is to come. Feel free to leave a comment or feedback if you like them–she’ll appreciate the compliments!
