What happens to move things from a blank page to a beautiful book? This panel discusses the ongoing struggle to give voice to the ways Black writers find joy, the ways we resist, the ways we declare our will to be free. We explore the perspective of Black writers on the craft of writing and storytelling and the unique voice we bring to the page. Panelist include Jericho Brown, Tiphanie Yanique, Darlene Taylor, and W. Ralph Eubanks.
