Krista Franklin and Nate Marshall on Black Futures

In their latest poetry collections, Krista Franklin and Nate Marshall both offer visions of liberation. Franklin’s Too Much Midnight explores portraiture and collage as strategies for radical imaginings, while Marshall’s FINNA celebrates Black vernacular as uplifting “Black possibility, Black future, Blackness as tomorrow”. Franklin and Marshall are joined by the poet Parneshia Jones for a discussion about the intersections of poetry, visual art, and popular culture.
