Jimmy was one of my mentors. I was one of the lucky students to get to ‘study’ creative writing with him in the Five College Consortium in Mass. He was precious. We became close. We were both Harlemites. Decades apart, of course, but Harlemites. In fact our first homes were two blocks from each other. When I was growing up Jimmy’s books were like furniture in our house. Wonderful. This year is the 100th Anniversary of his birth. I have a program from the New York celebration. I have no idea how to share it (and my pic with him) on this page!
Just know that my mouth is wide open Alexa! I will send you a private message and then you can share it there or my email. Oh!My!GOD! What a wonderful story! Thanks for sharing this with me!
have you been listening to meshell nedegeocello’s new album? no more water—about james baldwin?? forgive me if that’s silly to ask. but sometimes things that seem obvious get missed🤷🏻♀️.
my husband is a huge sportsball fan, but also becoming increasingly hard of hearing and not always picking up stuff on social media. So things I assume he would’ve seen about favorite players or topics he is interested in— well I’ve just decided I’m gonna drop things like happy marshmallows into everybody’s path!
