And everytime, I find something new. Poems are seductive in that way. My favorite poem in this collection is "My Time Up with You." #NationalPoetryMonth #NikkiFinney
In closing, #NikkiFinney's #magick lies in her willingness to learn how language works, an effort connected to listening to and seeing the KNOWLEDGE of Black expression. Her work contributes to our intellectual #herstory and the interfacing of physical + symbolic ecologies.
#NikkiFinney continued to discuss how the *knowledge* she gained through Black ways of living, languaging, and loving inspired her curiosity and willingness to discover what language can DO! She brilliantly articulates the importance of tinkering, finding, and willing with words.
"Black people would not be on the planet if it weren't for loving. So [my daddy] named me lovechild. He fed me the interior space that allowed me to listen to Black language, dance, song, etc." #NikkiFinney on her trans disciplinary philosophy of the intellectual work of poets
"If you love your life on that path of spontaneity and try to be a truth-teller, you have to take risks in what you say in order to move forward, you can't stay in the same spot." #NikkiFinney on embracing emergence.
"Read Everything. Discover magazine is my fav mag. I love science, the planets, the moon. I was told to stay in one lane. But I refused. I wanted to write about Black people in the world, surrounded by life." #NikkiFinney on why research is inseparable from the writing process
"Part of my [composing] process involves being in movement and engaging in repetition--Yoga, Walking, and Meditation." #NikkiFinney on confronting anxiety
"Y'all want to be writers and you don't know parts of speech! You must know the world you are working in! You can't be a musician if you don't know chords. Learn the rules then break the rules or you'll be swimming in a water you don't understand." #NikkiFinney on learning craft
Adding my vote for either #NikkiFinney or @jerichobrown for the Inauguration poet.
