And thank you again to @ALPoetLaureate Ashley M. Jones for her haunting and inspiring poem in honor of our 2022 Fellows. Her reading of this drew the absolute biggest standing ovation of the day. #ALhumanities
We are pleased to announce that HCP will publish @ALPoetLaureate's fourth book, Lullaby for the Grieving, in the fall of 2025. Hub City Press’s third book by Jones finds the poet in the throes of grief in personal & political ways, but also in the throes of finding profound joy.
Currently . . . because poetry can/should be read and celebrated all year long - not just in April . @ALPoetLaureate #bookstagram #teachlivingpoets
We are really excited about this powerhouse event and we know y’all are, too! Victor Luckerson (Victor Luckerson), author of the highly-anticipated “epic story” of America’s Black Wall Street, BUILT FROM THE FIRE, in conversation with @ALPoetLaureate, Ashley M. Jones, June 22nd at 6 pm!

Thanks to everyone that came out to our Poetry Matters event last night as part of the Magic City Poetry Festival! Ashley M. Jones, @ALPoetLaureate, was the featured poet.
Not enough words for the eloquence and generosity of Imani Perry in person. (And her laugh, her laughter, her smile—luminous.) ✨Do so wish I’d captured the image of @ALPoetLaureate’s purple sequins glimmering in the drizzle near a street lamp at MilesCollege tonight.
Just a little bit of the amazing Ashley Jones @ALPoetLaureate from her gorgeous poem Photosynthesis, from Leaning Toward Light, in a poem that talks about infant buds and dark soil – a garden where “even problems become energy, beauty–” #leaningtowardlight Storey Publishing
