In light of the ongoing Black Lives Matter protests happening all over the country this week, Garth Greenwell has asked to postpone his Reading By Writers event and we support him fully in that decision. Because we have grown to love our Thursday nights together, we will be celebrating and amplifying the words of a few essential black writers instread, including Ross Gay, Camille Dungy, Danez Smith, Saeed Jones, Nicole Sealey, Terrance Hayes, Claudia Rankine, and others.
