Clint Smith, who is a staff writer at The Atlantic, was recently interviewed by Terry Gross on Fresh Air. He read a poem from his recent book of poetry, which repeated the key line, "My Grandfathers Grandfather Was Enslaved." In order to emphasize the impact that this thought had on his understanding of his own family history, his recent book is an exploration that he undertook as a result of this deepened understanding. The Interview , his book How the Word is Passed, and book of poems, Counting Descent,are worth a visit.
Our next meeting will be on the 3rd Friday of the month, June 18th at 12 Noon California time. For more information on the topic will be posted here later. Subscribe to this blog to stay up to date on where our discussions our going.
